Georgia Denies Democrats Filibuster-Proof Senate Until 2010

A small but important victory for those opposed to one-party tyranny (even though we already have it); at least the Republicans will have a block available, which makes you wonder:

HOW COME the DemocraPs NEVER FILIBUSTERED ANYTHING during the reign of Bush?


"GOP wins big in Ga. Senate runoff; Chambliss victory preserves filibuster" by Robbie Brown and Carl Hulse, New York Times | December 3, 2008

Both sides are already gearing up for 2010, where Republicans will again have more senators up for reelection than Democrats will, providing Democrats with another chance to hit or surpass the 60 mark.

How about EXCOMMUNICATING Lieberman then?!

In the Georgia runoff, both campaigns enjoyed national support from the two parties, which spent about $2 million each and sent some of their biggest names to the state.

First of all, how many mortgages would $2 million dollars pay off? And what was the CARBON FOOTPRINT of all those big-wigs coming in?
