But will there be any filibusters?
Senator Chambliss has won re-election in Georgia, one of the few Republicans to win nationwide. The Democrats will not have 60 senators this session, meaning they will not have enough to override a filibuster. But will the GOP even try it?
What are they going to filibuster, universal healthcare? That would be the death of them if anything else. 64% of Americans favor it, 12% more than Obama's vote total.
So that filibuster is off the table. What else is there? Thoughts?
I'm happy. I don't want total control by the dems.
