This bodes ill...with Sphincter switching the Dems have 60 votes if Freaken gets seated.
They had the 60 anyway just look at the bailout
And there is the problem. We may not have liked or trusted Spector, but he gave the Republicans a very small margin of error. Franken will be seated and there you go.
Moreover, there are now no Republicans from the border of NH to VA. We cannot go on like this unless there we can pick up strength in some other places. And that is not going to happen anytime soon.
There are no blue states turning purple and there are no purple states turning red. But there are a number of red states turning purple and a number of purple states turning blue.
They already have 60 votes on 99% of what they want if you take in consideration that the 3 or 5 liberal Republicans will be voting with them. It does not bode a shit. Good riddance of a liberal Republican.
