so in that respect, this Coakley debacle means very little.

5. Let's be honest. Even having a "super majority" wasn't really doing anything
An advantage that's not used is the same as not having it in the first place.

Aside from the media hoopla and the teabaggers thinking this is some great sign, I don't really see how it will change anything.

Oh, we'll *hear* how now NOTHING can proceed because of it, but it's clear that this was already the case before. It just provides another excuse for the weak.
