Newarcher Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Obama was elected president and left his senate seat vacant. They could have rode the wave of dem hysteria and held a special election--giving the newly elected Senator two years to make voters like him/her. Instead obama and blagojevich decided to install someone friendly into the office, Roland Burris, who retired and the seat came up for election this time. Now, a republican holds that seat. So what you say? The dems will now be unable to overcome a republican filibuster so now they cannot pass union card check, cap and trade, or the other very unpopular bills they held expecting to get their revenge on the American voters during the lame duck session.

stevebeilgard Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 i hope the newly elected folks all remember why they were sent to washington. if not, i'm pretty sure the voters will remind them at the very next opportunity.
