Let's see, what's after Ohio? (Business as usual)
My great fear is that they'll just carry on and try to pretend that today's discussion never happened. How can we bring these issues to the table when we're in the minority? We're going to have to get some moderate Repubs on our side, I guess.
:shrug:

2. And don't forget to hold the Senate Dems responsible (n/t)
All except Boxer, that is. She stood her ground, God love her.

4. Long may Hillary's career continue. She's intelligent and tactical.
Much as some might have wanted her to run in front of the issue and add her vote, NONE OF THEM BUT BOXER DID SO, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

See the forest thru the trees, if progressive victory is really your goal.

3. Criminal prosecution on many fronts, leading to impeachment or
resignation. Although, given the sorry state of American media, I'll settle for the grassroots being the ones learning and communicating the truth about their many illegal acts.

6. Next they come for Boxer
with all guns blazing. Her fellow senators hung her out to dry, so she's going to need a lot of grass roots support.

Without media interest, election reform will die in committee.

After they complete Bush's agenda, they will begin redistricting and working on Congressional rules and procedures to assure a super-majority in 2006.

And since we have put a paper trail in the minds of the public, they are going to work on tactics to control and obscure recounts to attempt to salvage the manipulation techniques and technologies they have already invested in.
