Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

Thanks .  I was just going by what the article said about Clinton and Gore 
already having been there to campaign for the dem, and how SP had drawn 
thousands to maybe 60 people for Romney.

  I'm glad of what you say, though in reality the dems already have the 60 
they need for a filibuster proof on most imporartant votes -- the two 
Senators from ME will stand with the Dems on a lot of cloture votes.  The 
next 2 years anyway, will be full throttle Democrat power.  They will have 
majorities that no Republican has had in our lifetime
