This is opening up wagering opportunities on who’s shockingly next!

FTA.... She brings up some good talking points:

Republicans have a good chance to retake the Senate in November — unless they fall into civil war.

Retaking the Senate won’t mean the repeal of Obamacare, but it will thwart the president in significant ways. A united Republican Congress can pass legislation forcing vetoes. Bills like those alleviating the effects of drought in California, endorsing fracking on federally owned land, permitting Americans to keep their doctors, opposing lifting sanctions on Iran, cutting the bloated budget, and other matters would land on Obama’s desk instead of moldering in Harry Reid’s bottom drawer. Presidential vetoes would underscore the extremism of the president and his party. A Republican Senate would also inhibit the president from appointing ultra-leftists (like Debo Adegbile) to administration posts requiring confirmation. Finally, should any member of the Supreme Court die or resign in the final two years of an Obama presidency, a Republican Senate would force the president to choose a somewhat less objectionable nominee.

The problem is.... What damn good have the Repubs done as a minority in the Senate, and what makes anyone think a Repub senate majority would suck even less?

All these anti-Cruzers seem to be harping on is Ted is gonna cost us the senate majority. First of all; thats BS.

Second? Even if its true, I can live with that. Can you imagine Cornyn, McCain, Mitchell and other limp-wads as the majority? I ask you. What would be that different?
