55. This IS NOT Finger in the wind political analysis
this is about more than elections. This is about them not being able to stop it at all, even if they wanted. This is about the threat of possible death for them in rality.
What good would it have done to give Bush a 60+ majority in the senate? we'd have pickering, ANWR drilling and numerous other programmes which the dems have been able to stop since they have been able to filibuster.
A leader must be able to face unpopular consequences, but how many of you all would have rushed to attack them for losing badly in the elections and being completely unable to stop Bush.
