I'm saying with the "Blue Dogs" that the Dems, at the very best, had a shaky and quite disconnected "super majority"... Ben Nelson, if you will recall, was as close to a Republican as one could find... Lieberman, who caucused with the Dems didn't win as a Dem but an Independent... So technically, they didn't and even with Lieberman they were still at least one, perhaps 2 Dems shy of a workable 'super majority"...
Like Will Rogers once said, "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat..." 'Bout sums it up...
