Stuart Smalley Wins Minnesota Senate Election, 50% of Americans Totally Screwed
As of this afternoon, Norm Coleman conceded to Al Franken which means the Dems have a 60 vote majority in the Senate. If you’re wondering what that means, check out this post at Q and O blog titled “Welcome to One Party Rule.”
“Assuming that Coleman doesn’t seek cert., or if he does that no stay of the decision is put into place, then Franken will be seated as early as next week. With a vetofilibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the Democrats won’t need to play parliamentary games like using reconciliation bills, or the like, and instead will simply shove legislation down the throats of the minority. So get ready for cap-and-trade, government health care, huge tax increases, and a host of other government programs that don’t need and can’t pay for.”
Allahpundit at Hot Air points out that the Democrats have no more excuses.
“Exhibit A in why it is in fact possible to have too big of a majority: Once you hit 60, the cranks on your side demand results. The nutroots will be watching cap-and-trade and amnesty and health care and maybe even a second stimulus verrrrrry carefully, Harry. As will we, as will we.”
Michelle Malkin says “Send in the Clowns.”
She even includes a video of the classic Judy Collins rendition.
Perhaps the best post on this subject comes from Gay Patriot where it is noted…
“In a Democratic state in a Democratic year where the Democratic presidential nominee vastly outspent the Republican and had a far superior grassroots campaign which benefited down-ticket Democrats across the nation, the Democratic candidate for Senate ran 12 points behind the Democratic nominee for President in Minnesota, yet thanks to a third party candidate won election to the U.S. Senate, barely outpolling the Republican who has just conceded.”
Well said GP. Well said.
