I'm at work today. They allow us to read at our stations between calls, so I'm reading articles I've downloaded from the Internet. Suddenly, I was hit (with an effect rather like bird droppings from the sky) by an appalling thought. With the Republicans in the Senate down to 41 or 42 seats (I think Saxby Chambliss will be returned, but Minnesota AG Mark Ritchie may succeed in helping Al Franken steal Norm Coleman's seat), RINOs like Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, and Arlen Specter suddenly become vitally important to any attempts to maintain filibusters against dreadful Democratic ideas. Will they stand with their party? Will they demand unacceptable recompense for their support.
I fear the worst. These may be dark days descending...
