This kind of BS editorial plays with words that ignore the fact that the liberal democrats lost votes in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004. With those losses the dems still feel that they are in charge, while the pubbies are too damned afraid to take control. It's probably a good thing that I am not the sen maj leader because I would use the nuke option in a heartbeat. I would have done it so fast that it would have made Olympia Snowe's private parts tingle and would have reinitiated all of the pain that Mr McCain suffered when all of the bones in his body were previously broken.
Do you think he has 51? I'm almost sure he doesn't.
Do you think he has 50?
If he only has 48-49 sure votes, he'd better be damned careful about pulling the trigger-because ths is a vote he cannot stand to lose.
