The magic number has been reached, in theory.

I personally don't expect it to last past the midterm election since that usually is a good year for opposition parties. The way the GOP is going though one can only hope for an upset, and padding that number with a few more seats.

  - "Permanent majority" has a different ring to it now, doesn't it? (n/t) - TB - 7/1/2009 5:49:45 PM

    - Seriously. Does anyone know where the phrase "Permanent majority" came from? Has someone other than TB used it lately? (n/t) - alcaray - 7/2/2009 12:45:45 AM
      - I believe it was Karl Rove. - ER - 7/2/2009 12:55:52 AM
        
        That being the "different ring" point, of course. - TB - 7/2/2009 4:02:52 AM
        
        If the Republicans want to win back the majority, what they have to do is become electable. - Mary Anne - 7/3/2009 12:33:59 AM

        "A few years?" - TB - 7/3/2009 6:21:34 PM
        
        "many years" is not the same as "permanent" - Robert - 7/2/2009 6:59:34 AM
    - Nope. It sounds just as destructive to democracy now as at any other time. - alcaray - 7/1/2009 8:24:24 PM
- Well, well, well! "GOP's Coleman concedes, sending Franken to Senate." - Bowser - 6/30/2009 8:35:01 PM
