Yeah, I'd say 55/45 is our best realistic outcome. Far from being a sure thing, but I think I can be reasonably optimistic. Smiley

Excluding Hawaii and New Jersey, which probably weren't winnable for the GOP this year (but including NM), that means the GOP missed 15 opportunities. Democrats missed 3 (Nebraska is a bit of a stretch, but in an absolute best-case scenario, Nelson might have narrowly held on). So that's an 83% success rate for the dems. Just wow! Shocked

Well I apparently got Nevada, Montana, and North Dakota wrong in my Senate predictions. 

Though now that we have an effective 55:45 majority, I am glad of it. 

An effective Dem majority in the Senate would be 65-35. Tongue

...or alternatively, Reid getting ballsy and threatening to "nuke" the GOP like they did back in Bush years.

Of course, I wasn't saying that was a plausible thing.

Whatever can be done to heal the plague that filibuster is, we ought to.
