Minority Leader

[erpowers]

Since Tom Daschle has lost his race we need a new minority leader in the senate. So far I think Russ Feingold should be the new minority leader. I think he would make a great minority leader. Does anyone else have any other ideas.

1. Hillary Clinton

She can pull lots of public support. It would be a good launch pad for a presidential run also

2. Are you daft?

They have 55 seats; they can steamroll fillibusters now. We're fucked.

Say 'goodbye' to Roe v Wade, to any kind of rational policy coming out of the Senate...

This STINKS.

3. need 60 votes to steamroll

but you have to be able to keep all 45 dems on board.

5. I believe it takes 60 to shut down a fillibuster

6. How?

How do you steamroll a fillibuster with 55 seats?

Or in reality 52? (at least 3 are pro-choice)

4. I could live with...

...Feingold or Durbin.

8. Obama.

Why not? He's got state senate experience. And he's the best of what we've got!
