toasty's worst nightmare.

Re: toasty's worst nightmare.

Having a few seats majority is pretty much worthless. You need a 2/3 majority to be able to force legislation through.

Without a 2/3 majority, you can't override a presidential veto.


But Bush won't need to veto anything. The Senate doesn't have enough of a majority to override a filibuster. So you won't see much legislation reach the president's desk in the first place.

Thanks for the lesson Dad.

But the dems who won were, by and large, republicans wearing blue shirts. They were almost all moderate to conservative dems.

Now we're just dickering about semantics. There is nothing republican about the folks that have run the republican party for the last few years, they are neocons, jackasses, idiots, whatever you want to call them. Hence, my earlier comment:

I don't know how you could view the prior election as anything other than a wholesale rejection of this current perversion of republicanism.

I'll agree with you that the election does not reflect that the country has embraced far-left liberalism -- Ned Lamont losing to Leiberman is good evidence of that. It was absolutely a rejection of the incumbents, though, whatever you want to call them.
