They have 60

With the Minnesota State Supreme Court unanimously vote 5-0 against now former Senator Norm Coleman the democrats have 60 seats in the U.S. Senate. Not something that has been achieved since LBJ won a super majority with his election. Now LBJ and the democrats over reached and were swatted in the '66 election cycle. Now will that happen this time nobody knows republicans are not helping the brand any. We as republicans have yet to come up with an idea besides no which does not help. We can run against the message of the democrats of more spending, more deficit, and more government. But when voters ask us what are we for we have to have our own ideas.
Right now lets take a look at former Senator Norm Coleman this is a man who lost as the Republican nominee to Jessie Ventura in '98. Norm Coleman was not a strong candidate to begin with. He said many times that he was a Brooklyn Jewish kid who somehow ended up in Minnesota. That is not helpful either the public wants politicians they can identify with somebody they can see as a childhood friend.
Second Coleman Won his seat six years ago because his opponent died Paul Wellstone and his funeral became nothing more than a partisan rant. Former Vice President Walter Mondale still almost beat Norm Coleman. I am happy that Norm Coleman won but are we really surprised he lost this time. For 2010 the party needs to find youthful articulate candidates that aren't angry and don't frighten people. The key is to find the articulate candidates that can deliver a message for the future that the republican brand has ideas for the future and that if you vote republican you are helping to shape a more positive common sense future for your district, state, and our country.
