The filibuster will never be revoked. Anyone who believes in the contrary suffers from self-delusion. It is too powerful a weapon to be banned from the locker.

I also never thought I would see the day when a Republican claimed that Massachusetts was a "pretty solid red state."
Lol, you are whistling in the grave yard, 21 Dem Senate seats versus 10 Republican up for grabs in a horrific economy. The Dems are toast.

Chickens coming home to roost. The whole time Bush was in office, the Republicans treated the Dems like they were pond scum. I wish Reid had done this long ago.

Don't bet on it. Reid just made a similar move, I bet he backs off once he realizes the #% it storm coming his way.

The Republicans never acted in an undemocratic way. This is unbelievably stupid.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the Senate may be able to do something. I will be fun to watch. I guess that old gentleman's agreement is over. Was it really there?

You say this as the Republicans have to defend a bunch more seats in the house then Dems. Many of which are in swing districts it cuts both ways and I will take a 43% approval rating over a 12% approval rating any day. What makes this more funny is John Boehner is now less popular then Nancy Pelosi.

Lol, not one serious person believes the Dems will take the House, the Dems don't even think they will.
