Any change will carry over to republican control eventually.

McConnell has already stated he could change the Senate rules back, if he becomes Majority Leader.

That is as dumb as Boehner announcing he will not shut down the government -- translation: he gave up the power of the purse.

McConnell has already stated he could change the Senate rules back, if he becomes Majority Leader.

That would be horrible. But it would play directly into the hands of TEA Party candidates. It would be like a vote for 0bamacare. If he were to change back, it should be only after we'd put in as many nominees under it as they had - or something similar.

But to just change it back would so play into the next elections - in 2 years.
