re: #573 BryanS

Yeah…the Senate would be the place where there would be a leader of the minority. If anyone doubts whether McConnell was an effective leader for the Repubs the past two years, they must not have noticed all the roadblocks Repubs put up to oppose the Obama agenda. That was all him—just as Daschle did for the Dems when they were out of power.

I think it was to different degrees. The dems ahve never had much of a spine or self dicipline compared to Republicans. The Republican party is good at Lock-Step. The Democrats are an eclectic mix with no real organization.
