the democrats do need a 60 seat senate to impose their merciless will, and it's doubtful they'll get it. i dont understand the mournful tone of that news though. having that sort of majority is a double edged sword. even if things arent your fault, you could have done anything you wanted to to stop it.

I'm with you. While I'm glad we have a new governmental direction heading our way, I was worried about the Dems getting the 60 seats they'd have needed to have the super-majority. I think having things where they are now with a simple majority will allow for sweeping progress to be made, but hopefully not to the point of spiraling wildly in one direction or the other.
