So will Senate Dems cave to the House GOP?

[quinnox]

I know Dems barely have a majority now, how many of those are DINOS? Will the Senate basically cave to whatever nonsense the GOP puts up?

And then MAYBE Obama can veto?? Or will he go along for the sake of bi-partisanship.

4. BEcause the HoR democrats would occasionally put something useful in front of them.

When the repuke HoR sends up bills that push the right-wing agenda, (almost all of) the Senate will go along.

Filibuster? The Dems won't dare for fear of being blamed for blocking "the will of the people."

As for Obama's veto pen - it won't get much of a workout either. Yesterday's statements clearly pointed that out.

6. Why? If house puts out some decent legislation (LOL) I could see them trying to fix it.

But of course that is not going to happen.

What you are going to see is Dems positioning themselves as "We are the reasonable ones, willing to compromise and govern. They are unreasonable and aren't doing a DAMN THING other than worrying about 2012." That is going to be the Dem message 24/7.
