Greg Sargent has the new post-Massachusetts election talking points from the Senate Democrats:
The talking points direct people to make the case that now that Dems have lost their supermajority, Republicans have a newfound responsibility to help govern, rather than obstruct. The talking points contain this line:No, I can't imagine Republicans ever saying such a thing. They'd shout from the rooftops that Democrats were obstructing progress and endangering the nation. The traditional media would join that chorus -- and the Democrats would cave. Mitch McConnell has really done a number on the Democratic psyche.“It is mathematically impossible for Democrats to pass legislation on our own.”Can you imagine Republicans in the majority — who, by the way, never had as many votes as Dems do now — ever saying such a thing?
NOTE FROM JOHN: Not to mention, George Bush never had more than 55 GOP votes in the Senate and he got most of what he wanted. And let's be honest, the Dems weren't terribly effective with 60 votes either.
