If the Dems get 57, we’re in trouble, because of RINO Senators such as Snow, Collins, and Voinovich. If Obama wins, we might have to figure out some kind of guerilla partimentary tactics to stop the Democrats, because the fillibuster may not be available.

But the DemocRATS might find they are herding cats when it comes to cloture votes. Quite a few DemocRAT senators like Landrieu from conservative states might not go along with some of the really radical proposals Obama wants to get through Congress. Landrieu never wins with overwhelming margins.

Sen Jim Webb and incoming (face it — up by avg. 30%) Sen Mark Warner will need to be careful as to how they vote as well. While VA is unfortunately getting bluer as time goes on, there is still a large conservative constituency here to keep them on their toes. Neither Webb nor Warner are particularly liberal across-the-board.
