All that will ensure is that McConnel will attempt to filibuster nearly every part of the Obama agenda.
With 41 Republican senators motivated by this act to oppose Reid, Obama may find it will be very hard to get any of his agenda passed.
Then in 2 years when the next eletion occurs the Demorats may do very badly. The corruption stories on top of corruption stories with mixed with worsening economy just might take the Senate back to 51 or 52 Democrats and no chance of Obama getting anything passed.
The anger of the left at Reid and Obama blowing the biggest leftist chance since 1933 could cause a lot of them to take a walk in 2010 and 2012.
The media has over and over presented the Obama win as a huge win. When he fails to deliver the goods they want, they are going to blame Obama and his fellow Democrats.
At the end of his term Obama could make Bush look like a popular president.
Forty one less the two from Maine and one from Pennsylvania. More like thirty eight. Remember hucklebuck won’t be running in Arkansas next time, nor will Rudy be taking on New Jersey or New York. We may even lose on in Texas. Ain’t that something.

Since his term will probably end about two years after the total collapse and disintegration of the USA, who will give a damn about his popularity?
Really, it's great to see you posting again. Welcome back. I neglected to post on those threads but you were in prayers.

Have no doubt that they will use the nuclear option to defeat any filibuster.
Amen to that.
Thanks to the media, way too many people mortgaged their very souls for a house built on the "hope" of a "promise." A feeding frenzy will follow when they finally have to admit publicly that THEY were duped. It is not going to be pretty, but it will be fun to watch.
You make good points as usual. As a small minority the Republicans would be well advised to be tough and stand together. Its their only chance slim as it is of affecting anything. This requires a strong leader (which we do not have unfortunately) to herd the cats.
I don’t think this is wise...there is too many problems right now. If McConnell makes no effort to work with Dems to solve problems that the parties can agree on...the Dems will win a filibuster proof majority in 2010. Americans are sick of politics. The party that plays politics while the country is in deep trouble will lose big.
Does this mean it's not looking good for the free unicorn rides?
This will be all well and good until a certain Senator and former Presidential candidate realizes he has the chance to re-gain his most coveted title, “Media President.” Then he will exercise his “maverick moves” along with Media VP Grahamnesty to break the filibuster.
