1. We're 58 senatros, 59 at the most. It's going to be kissyface for a while yet, sadly.

2. YEAH! Take that pukes. We do what we want from now on.

Go sit on the bench while the starting line-up gets things done.

3. I don't dislke Reid, but it seems to me we should have a majority

leader who projects more strength. His voice, his demeanor do not project energy or strength. Voters who do not understand what is going on judge us by the presentation of our leadership. I'm sure Reid has many good qualities, but I don't think he is the right person for majority leader.
