We really need a majority in the Senate, otherwise it is going to be one obstruction after another

1. Even with a majority...

if they don't change the rules, the Repubs can still fillibuster.

2. The most likely result will be a slight majority for us, and they could theoretically try and

filibuster a SC nominee, though I would hope there are ways around that

[Wounded Bear]

3. They could selectively dis-allow fillibuster on appointments...

they actually did that for offices other than USSC, though they hold all the committee chairs so they've been delaying those, too.

4. I am hoping that women are being under polled in battleground states, and that the down ticket

in those battleground states will help us in the Senate

5. Saw another thread about female turnout in early voting...

looks good.

7. Yeah, if there is a "stealth" majority out there, it's women.

I suppose Trump will get 20% of them, there are stupid people in the world, but I suspect Clinton will get 60-70% of the female vote.

I'll be proud to vote with them.

8. Yep. They only need 41 to screw the pooch.

9. I don't think so. The GOP knows their party is in trouble...they are going to want

to get things moving, if only to save their jobs.

10. We need a sweep

The Presidency, Senate and the House. Even though things are looking good and trending in our direction, do not get over confident!!!! Go vote!
