Even after you have been elected, you still have to get there

Chris Steller of Minnesota Independent reminds us of something which should have been obvious all along. To get to the 60-vote filibuster-proof number, they need Franken but also have to have the 59 others all available to vote and some of them are not well. He cites Robert Byrd and Edward Kennedy as examples, but remember that the world belongs to those who show up.



Do you suppose that any of the GOP hardliners will take this into consideration when they contemplate their next step when/if our Supremes rule for Franken?
