Hardball Math

The Brad Blog has got a great idea. As long as the GOP prolongs the Minnesota senatorial recount (and denying Obama a much-needed Senate vote), the Dems should refuse to seat Gregg's Republican replacement from New Hampshire.

And here's the kicker-- with only 98 senators, the number of votes required to end a filibuster is only 59 (instead of the usual 60). That might come in handy if the stimulus drama goes into a third act . . .
