WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats completed their sweep to power in the U.S. Congress on Thursday, winning the last Senate seat and moving quickly from bitter campaign rhetoric to pledges to try to find common ground with President George W. Bush.

Faced with a new political landscape, Bush signalled a more conciliatory approach on Iraq as he and the new leaders in Congress vowed to work together but conceded they would have differences.

"The election's over. It's time for a change," said Democratic Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, who will become Senate majority leader. "It's time for bipartisanship, it's time for open government, transparency, and it's a time for results."

The Democrats sealed control of both houses of Congress by taking a 51-49 majority in the Senate with former Navy Secretary Jim Webb's defeat of Republican Sen. George Allen in Virginia -- a race so close it almost required a recount.
