We now have the possibility of appointing 3-4 supreme court justices (depending on which article you read) that could impact that section of our government for 30 years!

Obamacare lives to go into full effect.
Democratic party gets it's rightful credit for the next four years of recovery the economy is on track for.
Those DWARF any of those others. Those are national scale transformative events.

(186 posts)But Heitkamp (D) is looking like a win in (not yet declared) North Dakota:

and it's looking like Tester (D) in Montana:

Which, even though it's apparently going to be Heller (R) in Nevada:

would mean 54 Democratic senate seats, plus independents King in Maine and Sanders in Vermont!

Others have previously said they aren't so sure:

King has previously said he'll caucus with neither:

Whatever his earlier views may have been, they could change given the post-election makeup of the senate.

Thank you Jim Graves for such a super effort, we'll take her down next time.

Gay Discrimination Ammendment? Fail.

(404 posts)I went to bed last night thinking you had gotten rid of crazy lady 6. I woke up this morning, grabbed my phone and was sorely disappointed. I was very happy for my MN friends that you killed that marriage amendment, though. I really needed MN to get rid of Crazy lady 6, though. Ever since I moved to TX I've had to be liberal vicariously through my MN friends.
