3. Even if Coleman wins, the Democrats (the party I usually identify myself with) will still have a significant majority of Senate seats.
Huh? Each state has 2 Senators. Minnesota has Coleman and Klobuchar. What majority are you referring to?
You do realize this is for the U.S. Senate, not the State House, correct?
Sounds to me like you're the one who's confused. I think what AML meant is just what he said - that the Democrats will retain a solid command of the US Senate (not the majority of MN seats therein) even if Coleman is re-elected.
Well dog-gone it, I guess I AM confused!
I never thought 49 seats in the U.S. Senate was considered "Solid Command".
You are very confused about more than one thing:
1. You apparently have no idea how to quote (how did you mess up twice? I fixed it for you)
2. I wasn't referring to the CURRENT lame duck senate, where the Democrats barely have a majority (49 members plus 2 who caucus with them), but the one that we will have after the election. The Democrats are virtually guaranteed to have at least 54 seats, and they have a shot at 57-58 depending on how some of the closer races fall.
