Exactly. You know if the situation was reversed the denizens of DU would be popping champaign and starting a death watch. They've done it before.
Yes they have. When the loss of a single member by the GOP would have swung control, they had death watches for Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond in hopes that one of them would die and give them the senate.
Well, if Johnson is able to remain in the Senate, how long before Robert KKK Byrd, no spring chicken, kicks the bucket? Or Ted Kennedy's liver finally gives out?
The dem roster is chock full of geezers that could kick the bucket at any minute.
