So how do you see things shaping up for the next several months in the Senate?

[JVS]

Edit: adding some choices

[FLAprogressive]

1. 57 -- we COULD get things done but the leadership will choose not to.

2. SS/DD

over the next several months.

3. huh?

5. Same shit, different day.

Sorry, I don't see much happening short of much teeth gnashing and tears that's any different.

Super majority? Never had it. Never would have used it. A roomful of spineless idiots really doesn't matter regardless of what party each one claims.

4. "Change" is done. Obama becomes even more of a Republican,

Dems in congress behave even more shamefully, left is totally disowned.

6. A lot of votes designed to put the Republicans on the wrong side of every issue

And I actually see Scott Brown scurrying to the middle. The guy wants to be a Senator for more than 2 years and that's not going to happen if he just panders to the tea-baggers.

8. You mean he doesn't have 2012 presidential ambitions?

[Edweird]

7. Continued rightward march with corporate payola off the backs of the workers.
