This is interesting!
The key number in the Senate is 60. Less than 60 adn the minority party can use a process called a "filibuster" to bascially table a piece of legislation and prevent a vote on it.

I think that the key issue tonight is ensuring that no one party has complete control of the US Government.

Plainly spoken... Obama is WAY to far to the left. If he gets a fully Democratic legislature, it is possible that he can do too many things that middle America will NOT be willing to take. Middle America will not take it. States WILL secede.

It could get ugly.

I pray that it does not. But listening to things Obama says he wants to do... He is JUST like Bush, only left rather than right. Just as much a divider, not a uniter.
