If, as expected, the Democrats lose control of Congress, this is what we will be missing.

Broether Rich,
You are so right~~~ Americans will be losing all the opportunity to
pass legislative items when the govt is under the power of one party. I love the way Maddow breaks down things!!

Although I am generally disappointed with the Democratic party, I really don't understand why anyone suffering joblessness would allow the Republicans the remotest chance of regaining control. The things that the 111th Congress has done in 21 months have been truly extraordinary (especially the Lilly Ledbetter legislation) in my opinion!!!

Jen--

I agree with you totally. We are going to see political gridlock. With the nation hurting we will most likely see nothing but political posturing.

Sad.
