Aren't you (and the press) extrapolating this rather widely?

No, I don't. *It is Massachusetts, Myron. *Republicans are only about

The Democrats still have a majority in both houses. Repeat after
me . . . nuclear option. . . . And I don't remember you ever raising
an eyebrow when the Rs were in control, in fact as i recall you
indicated it was just peachy fine and Mr De Lay and company were just
exercising their majorities etc.. It would be a fine touch if the
Repubs were locked out of the hearing rooms like the Dems were don't
you think?

Other than that . . . enjoy that sweet taste of victory for a bit.
That fleeting taste of victory, while us Dems make history reforming a
broken health care system in a campaign in which Republicans refused
to participate, or even offer any coherent alternatives. Big Pharma,
Senator Frisk's family companies, and the managers of many offshore
bank accounts thank you for your service on their behalf.

Uh huh. Whistling past the grave yard are we, David.
