A Democratic Majority in the Senate is possible

The political climate is extremely unfavorable against conservatives that Democrats are in good position to pick up 10 seats in the Senate. That is still an if.

I'm not holding out my breath in order to avoid becoming disappointed, but the possibility is there.

So what does it mean if they did expanded their majority to 10 seats? It means they can block any republicans obstructing any kind of legislatures from the democrats. In essence they'll become filibuster proof.

It's really too early to celebrate. But the possibilities are better for liberals this time than ever before. I really do believe the pendulum in this country is swinging towards a more progressive society. But only time can tell. Is it november yet...
