>>> AZ Republic says McCain will “lead and set terms”

Even if republicans don’t win the senate, in a reduced dem majority with his seniority that is likely true. And paulist footstomping won’t change this.

You do understand do you not that this maneuver saved the senate filibuster. Retards were demanding democrat filibusters be killed by the nuclear option, somehow deluding themselves into thinking a republican majority was a permanent fact of political life. It wasn’t. McCain and crew were smart enough to look beyond the moment.

During the years of the (almost) democrat super-majority the filibuster has been the only leverage republicans have had over Reid. Otherwise it would be virtual rule by decree.

Like McCain or not, that move saved our bacon.
