Gridlock: RIP?

Wow. A LOT of y'all got your vote on yesterday. Turnout was huge, around 64% and my pal Dr. Gridlock is on his last legs. There are 41 confirmed Republican Senate seats with 3 more still to be decided so the filibuster is still (barely) in play, but wow!

It will be interesting to see how (if?) Obama's agenda differs from Pelosi's and if they do differ, which one will prevail.

Are Pelosi et. al. worried of a replay of 1993, or are they just gonna go for the gusto?

I am also very interested to see who Obama's economic team will be.

Hoping to be part of the team, Angus?

Rumor has it that the Dems will punish Joe Lieberman for being unfaithful. That will push him to cacus with the Reps... and give them one more vote for filibuster. They need it because of possible defections (see Maine).

Let the Dem self destruction begin!
