Going from 60 to 59 is no big deal.....
   
...as lots have said, we weren't REALLY at 60 anyway because of Joe Lieberman (and to a lesser degree some others).


It wouldn't be a big deal if this were a seat in a red or purple state.


What makes it a big deal is that it was in Massachusetts and was Teddy's seat.


It's the equivalent of Democrats winning Strom Thurmond's seat in South Carolina six months after he died.


It's not that the Republicans won a match... it's that they won an away game.



If just about any other seat went from Dem to GOP, it would be not as big a deal.





I've got one thing to say to Senator Byrd... stay healthy, old friend. Because that seat will flip to the GOP a helluva lot easier than Teddy's did.

If the dems couldn't shove it down our throats with 60 what makes you think they can with 59?

1. and we might end up losing 5 or 6 more in '12
   
I was stunned to see that Feingold might even be in "trouble" :grr:

All liberals are in trouble now and I'm loving it. Maybe Obama is a blessing in a humongous disguise.

2. 60 meant nothing when you realize that Holy Joe was included.
   
Today is a good day to tell him to suck a ****. (Sadly, it ain't gonna happen, because the Big Dems are cowards)

Holy Joe voted yes you idiot.

11. Not Teddy's Seat = The People's Seat
   
This liberal elite mentality is why we lost in Mass

Never take ANY race for granted

I will admit that I included Byrd in my prayers the other night.  "If you don't mind very much, could you please call him home, God?"

I may feel a little guilty about laughing, but

I would be happy if I never have to see them wheel him into the senate chamber on a hospital bed at 1:00 am again shaking his finger at the republicans and saying "For shame, for shame."  Or would that be "fooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrr shaaaaame?"

Indeed.  Notwithstanding that it means several more years in purgatory, at least, I've said the same thing.
