Big time. I am sad by many Senate Seats we did not win tonight. I know that everyone is excited about the House and I am too but I would take a minority House with 68 Senators.....Senators pick the court. We could easily be screwed if one of our conservative justices decides to retire or good forbid gets sick. Also I bet they are going to go nuclear on judges.....I have this serious feeling that Reid knows he has six years and won’t care. He is going to pass any and everything he wants. This win is the worst thing that could have happened.
“This win is the worst thing that could have happened.”
This night has been such a disappointment for me. I remember when Reagan won in 1980, and we cleaned the senate swamp in one night, chasing George McGovern, John Culver, Birch Bayh, and Frank Church. We beat them all and more. We knew it was a win, and so did they...but this?
Obama can ram any judge he wants through this senate. We are just as screwed as before if Anthony Kennedy retires.
And to boot, Gabby Giffords and Raul Grijalva just won. Bahh.
I was wondering whether a chuck schumer senate would be worse?
Dream Act is on his radar.
“but I would take a minority House with 68 Senators.....Senators pick the court.”
Even if 20 to 25 of ‘em voted against you half the time? Like McCain? 2012 is coming you know, and the RATS are vulnerable there in a BIG way. We also need to be strategic and build a Constitutional Coalition - as the GOP has shown they cannot be fully trusted...
