As usual the media is breathlessly overhyping this chit. Sure, it's newsworthy stuff, but if you look a little closer you would see that more rethugs than dems are retiring. (oh noes!!!)
North Dakota is probably a loss, but Dodd's stepping down means that what would have been virtually certain gop win will now remain in dem control. (the contender is polling 30 points ahead of his repub challenger)
Instead of getting so happy you should take a hard look at what is happening to your own party. Nothing like a little infighting to make things interesting. Party of no alright- no cohesion, no plan and no money.
Plenty of teabags, tho. :seeya:
