We need to stop worrying. We all know that the Supreme Court is mostly held by good, law-abiding judges. If ANY of these races end up there, they will be shot down. The Dems will have to suck it up at that point.
There will be no fillibuster-proof Senate. There just won’t. It isn’t in the cards for them.

Go crawl back in your troll hole Mr. "I just joined FR today"

I hope you just forgot your /sarcasm tag. But this is serious, and none of us here are laughing.

Excuse me, but the Democrats in the Senate will decide who actually wins. Article I Section 5 of the US Constitution:

“Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members,...”

The Democrats will probably get their 60. Remember, for Democrats “fair” means getting their own way. Kind of like “Mir” for the Soviet Communists (peace) meant a Communist state.

Chambliss may be the only real obstacle to 60 seats. Franken will successfully steal Coleman's seat, the Democrats control everything in Minn and won't relent unless obvious malfeasance on their part stops the “recount”. Republicans only have a chance at choosing Steven's successor because of dumb luck, if that.
