Saxby Chambliss has just given Democrats some good ammo for the run-off: Saxby Chambliss is resisting an order to give evidence in a lawsuit by families of victims killed or hurt in the Imperial Sugar Co. explosions and fire earlier this year. The U.S. senator was subpoenaed last month on behalf of four victims – […]
The Oregonian has projected that Jeff Merkley beat incumbent Republican Senator, Gordon Smith. This puts the Democrats at 57 seats now. While we most likely won’t see the magical number of 60, every seat helps and means less help we need from the other side to overcome filibusters.

The Republicans have been planning all along to use this bailout as an issue against Democrats, despite the fact that it is a bill by a Republican administration.
