Yes, elections do have consequences. In this case, here are a few in the Senate where we will enjoy a 59 - 41 advantage over the bad guys once Norm Coleman is laughed out of court:
- We will have a four seat advantage on the Appropriations committee.
- We will have a four seat advantage on the Armed Services committee.
- We will have a three seat advantage on the other committee where there is no mandated committee makeup. (The intelligence committee is always +1 and the Joint Economic Committee is always +2.)
Congratulations to Harry Reid for negotiating these advantages. This gives the Democratic party a leg up on helping the American people by allowing us to get our legislation through the committee and to the Senate floor.
