Senate gains another democrat

WASHINGTON - Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican in Senate history, narrowly lost his re-election bid Tuesday, marking the downfall of a pillar of the U.S. Senate and Alaska icon who apparently couldn't survive his conviction on federal corruption charges. His defeat to Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich moves Senate Democrats closer to a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority.

Guess that won't be Palin's platform for returning to the national stage after all - Yes Virgina, there is a Santa Claus!

Yes...well...actually 2 more if you count Lieberman as part of the caucus (he wasn't kicked out or anything).

I wouldn't crow about wanting Franken on you side. Wow, he's way out in left field. Wouldn't surprise me if he advocated opening up the prisons.

That will only mean the Democrats can't shift blame, it will rest squarely with them. Hope they can handle it. :)

Yes...If they get 60 in the senate, then their failure to pass legislation will rest on their shoulders.

I remember times that were similar, oh about '76-'80. Don't know if I want to relive those years, things were so robust. LOL
