    Just what Obama needs. Filibuster proof majorities.

    Now they can't complain when America tanks because of his policies. Go Obama.

        I was hoping they would wait until the midterms.

          No. The people of Minnesota deserve full and equal representationculpability for the actions of the Senate.

          WTF is it about Minny that they keep electing showbiz folk? Can't wait to see what office Prince decides to run for.

              Nah. There are plenty more embarrassing Franken shots out there.

                320 vote margin out of 3 million cast state wide?

                I'm surprised Minny doesn't have the same legislation as Georgia, considering he didn't win a majority.

                  Why? You don't need a majority in most states.

                    A change like that would help Democrats. Instant runoffs help the system to closer approximate the preferences of the median voter. That's a D in MN, like it's an R in GA.

                    But yeah, almost every state allows a plurality victory. I think GA is the only exception. LA used to be as well, but they changed their system recently. VT allows the legislature to choose the winner if there isn't a majority (but they always pick the plurality winner, regardless of the parties in question).

                      I think the past several months have well established which pol in this dispute ought to wear the baby getup. It's not Al.

                          Good. Maybe now Obama can put aside all this bipartisan crap and do what the people voted him into office for.
