Subject: RE: BS: Mass. Senatorial race
Ron,

Think about it this way... When the Dems had the 60 votes that allowed them to play "one party rule" if they could pull it off... And the Repubs knew it and forced them to play that game... That game is over and the Repubs no longer can force the Dems to do the 60-vote-shuffle because the Dems no longer have the "super majority"... This makes the Repubs claim that the Dems are doing whatever they want regardless of the wishes of the voters a null-and-void arguement...

So what we have is a new game here where the Dems can "legitimately" call the Reoubs "obstructionists"...

This is why the Dems are better off without the "super majority"... Especially since the "super majority" had so many righties in it...

Watch how this plays out before telling me that I am wrong here...

B~
