@barackman28,
yeap we need that 60 in the senate, since Dole is tanking in NC against Hagen, Lunsford is one point behind the senate minority leader Mcconnell in Kentucky, with Franken near Coleman in Minnesota, Musgrave near Wicker in Mississippi, and Merkley ahead of incumbent Smith in Oregon 60 Democratic senators could be elected in 2008.
if we find that by october 20-25 that Obama is ten points ahead in the national polls the GOP will likely not be able to get out the vote and this will help democrats down ticket.
with 60 democratic senators, dare we think about repealing taft hartley? after all if the GOP claims that what is good for america is easing restrictions on the market what is wrong with easing the restrictions on organized labor?
