I wonder if Obama will go to Georgia and campaign against Chambliss. I guess if Franken prevails in the recount, he would have to give an all out effort to try and get the 60 votes in the senate. I mean, though, for all practical purposes, 58 is about all they need. I mean Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are not going to stop something good going thru the Senate to support a strictly partisan filibuster. But, hey, if you can pile on the majority, go for it.
Pat Buchanan on last week's McLaughlin Group said during the predictions section of the show that the dems would end up taking the senate seats in Minnesota and Alaska, but keep the Georgia seat. I think that if Obama went to Georgia and campaigned, that the Dems might take the seat. I think if it comes down to the 60th Dem. vote, that he will go.
The economy is really weird. It's the weirdest in my lifetime. How can so many people be worth so much a couple months ago, and, doing nothing, be worth a lot less today? How can we as a society, with an economy based on what people had and not on what they have, keep going? The truth is it can't. Big changes need to come but I'm not sure if we have the will to change. I guess we will see. Hold onto your wallet!
