re: #21 Eclectic Cyborg

I think the GOP have better odds of retaking the Senate this year than we might like to think.

Not that I’m happy about that.

I’m afraid you’re right. The Dems are defending more Senate seats. Some in deep red states like Louisiana and Arkansas. And others in states that could go either way.

Legislatively it won’t make that much difference, since the House will stay GOP and thus continue to block anything remotely moderate passed by a Dem controlled Senate. But it could be a real pain in the ass when it comes to confirmations, from SC Justices on down.
