This is a devastating number for the rats base to swallow. This high a number for cloture will be seen as an abandonment of the far left of the rat party. The DU'ers type rat have lost big time.
The rats will not only find it very difficult to get the votes to support another filibuster, the rats have had a wedge shoved between the far left and their moderates.
This vote will hit the rats harder than the nuclear option. The nuke would have energized the rat base. This outcome will cause the rats to eat their own.
Nope, again ... Dirty Harry agreed to give Owens a pass for an up or down vote .. 81-19 has nothing to do with the reality of the final margin .. that's why Cheney is waiting in the wings .. to break a 50-50 tie if it happens.
Go back to sleep now
