It is worth mentioning that the Republican senators we are getting will be on the whole more conservative. Thus, it will be much easier to hold together enough votes to sustain fillibusters. Voinovich will be gone. Murkowski, gone. Collins, Snowe, Graham and McCain are about the only RINOs left. I would rather have a more ideologically pure GOP Senate and be in the minority than a mish mash of RINOs and in the majority.
“Collins, Snowe, Graham and McCain are about the only RINOs left.”
If Mark Kirk (IL) gets elected, he’ll be right in there with those RINOs.
