Breaking up that old gang of ours

MANIFESTO

Steve Benen runs down the latest political polls, and they sure don't look good for the Democrats.

Atrios adds, "Going to be a fun year. Sigh."

I'd be a lot more upset about this if the Democrats had done absolutely anything to demonstrate they could get anything done. Five or six additional Republicans in the Senate—including a replacement for the worthless Harry Reid—certainly won't have anything to do with further slowing down the wheels of legislation.
