I&#039;m not. I&#039;m pleased as punch that we didn&#039;t get the Senate too. Once they&#039;re seated, the new Representatives should be able to put the kibosh on extravagant spending and other nonsense. If we had the Senate too (but not the ability to override a veto, which was impossible to get), many of the uninformed electorate would be wondering &quot;Well, Repubs have the House and Senate, why haven&#039;t they done X?&quot; and blaming us, nevermind that we couldn&#039;t get it past a veto. No, holding the Senate and the Executive means the Dems still appear to have the balance of power (and thus garner the lion&#039;s share of the blame), while the reality is that we can pretty much stop their agenda dead in it&#039;s tracks.  It&#039;s the best of both worlds, we get to stop them, they get blamed for not doing anything. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>But it was within reach, which makes us all the more frustrated that we didn&rsquo;t get it. </i></p><p>I&#039;m not.
