In the senate, Al Franken was held out a few months by election disputes. Kennedy and Byrd were dying and were like Mccain is now. Spector ran as a Dem to hold his seat, but he was a Repub and voted that way. Thart senate control thing is a farce.
They had 59 seats with the independents caucusing with the dems, which means even with your excuses they still had the majority. Mighty strange that poor old hamstringed DNC was able to enact Obamacare without a single republican vote being so disenfranchised in the Senate.
