With 23 Dem Senate seats up next year compared to 10 for the GOP, even stupid Dems should see the hazards involved in rewriting the rules for minority members.

BINGO. And of the 23 Dem seats up for grabs many of them are in states that Bush won in 2004. The dems are going to have to defend seats red states like Montana, Nebraska, Missouri, Florida, North Dakota, Ohio, Virgina and West Virginia. Also states like Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania are not as blue as they once were. Heck if you take governors races as a bellwether New Jersey isn't even a safe seat for a dem any more. Only Scott Brown in Massachusetts is a seat that the GOP is going to have trouble holding. The odds of us having a net pickup of the 4 seats we need are fairly good.
