The Democratic majority in the Senate obviously doesn't know how it feels. Arlen remains as always an "even though."- Even though he does bring them closer to the filibuster proof(?!) number of 60. There is no telling where he'll put his voting power. And, with the rise of the new "centrist"- caucus, (the infamous ConservaDems) Vegas is currently taking odds on, whether Arlen is a blessing or a curse.

The most troubling outcome, as I see it, is the increased frustrations that this is going to cause the American public. We are already sick and tired of our elected officials being so childishly bipartisan. Now it seems like we've got to worry that they're all going to be bipolar too.
