Yes, they need the 60, otherwise the other side will filibuster until the messiah comes…

I think you are both right. A 60+ majority is within reach and I don’t think they will need it to govern.

Hopefully Dannity will be correct so we don’t have to find out is Carlos is right or not.

I think Senator Ensign is wrong about his firewall strategy, Because if democrats win 6 to 8 seats they wont need the Hardcore conservatives to govern, there will still be a handful of moderate GOPers (like Sen.Snowes, Collins,Specter,Mccain,Smith) who are going to be willing to work with the Dems and hopefully with President Obama

I’m a bit surprised that they’re giving up on NM so soon, as it’s a state very much in play this fall in the Presidential race and a noncompetitive Senate race would surely depress Republican turnout in the state come November.

Mississippi has turned into the giant elephant in the room that everybody’s trying to ignore. Musgrove would likely be a very conservative addition to the Democratic caucus and no Republican wants to admit that they’ve slipped so far as to potentially lose statewide seats in a place like Mississippi. There’d be widespread panic and fund raising would plummet.

10 seats are legitimately within the Democrats’ grasp this November. How crazy is that?

Smart move giving up on Virginia and New Mexico. Colorado and New Hampshire might be the next ones to fall while Alaska, Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, and Mississippi become the states they fight the hardest in.

At this point, they might never even play offense in Louisiana.
