Now normally I wouldn't really advocate voting along party lines, but then moderates use to rule the roost where its a little more mix and match with a little Republican thinking here and a little Democrat thinking there. Sadly those days disappeared with the advent of Bush and Rove making everything a us vs them deathmatch.
The simple reality is this government, our party system, works best when the two parties are fighting against each other. The Republicans have ruled the roost for six years and wasted the opportunity. Even worse, they left the country in a worse place then when they started. You don't reward that level of incompetence. Its time to return to compromise, its time to returns to sense, its time to yank control away from the extreme fringes of both parties and work back towards the middle ground. The first step to doing that is to give Democrats control of Congress.
If my some miracle, Democrats are able to field a true Presidential candidate in 2008, then this idea can be re-visited. After all, we have already seen how damaging its can be for the Republicans to control all three branches of government, I seriously doubt giving the Democrats the same power will be much better.
Remember, use the Constitutional mindset of separation of powers when voting.
Vote Democrat.
