Prediction time...
How many days will it take the Republican minority in Congress to introduce all these bills, now that they THINK they have the majority:

1. A tax cut.
2. A bill ending the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
3. A corporate or financial deregulation bill.
4. A bill prohibiting cap-and-trade.
5. A bill keeping the government from going into the business of regulating healthcare.
and
6. A bill demanding President Obama release the "vault copy" of his birth certificate.

It's got to be all six.

I say they get all six introduced by the first of March. And I say they'll have the tax cut in the hopper by the end of Brown's first week in the Senate.

2. Three months...and they'll get all of them passed.
All they have to do is threaten to filibuster...even their own legislation...and Dems will do whatever they want.
