John;

Do you want the Dems to get a filibuster proof majority in the Senate so they can be held accountable? Is that it?

Crap, I had a GREAT response but it errored out with SI.

No - to your question. I'm thinking ahead to the next election. Think Clinton. Did he reach too far? You bet with the Hillary health care idea. Democrats paid a dear price for that two years after Clinton took office.

I think Obama goes after a huge energy package. He needs to be careful not to repeat the Clinton mistake and the best way to do that is to be forced to bring in republicans into the legislation. This will be encouraged by the threats of filibuster.
