Here's the Associated Press headline, GOP leader: Sen. Gregg departure won't shift power.
Of course it won't shift senate power. Senate power rests on a simple majority not a super majority like the GOP has convinced the entire world it does. Even if Gregg is replaced with a Democrat it does nothing to shift power. All it does is give the Democrats a veto proof senate. The filibuster crap is a Republican created myth. It does not take 60 votes to pass a bill in the senate. It only takes a simple majority. Republicans, however, have everyone convinced that senate power rests on 60 seats rather than 50. Will the media quit with this nonsense! When the Democrats were in the minority there was never talk of a 60 seat majority. This is a gross and epic Republican lie the media has bought without the slightest bit of consideration for facts.
