Re: Obama had 60 votes and could have made D.C. and Puerto Rico states.

When did the Democrats achieve 60 votes in the Senate?
Hint: Al Franken.
When did it go away?
Hint: Ted Kennedy.
September 24, 2009, Paul G. Kirk, former Democratic National Committee chairman and former aide to Kennedy, was appointed to occupy the Senate seat until the completion of the special election. Of course he had no seniority and was only a vote. Deval Patrick had changed rules allowing the Governor to appoint Kirk. Scott Brown defeated Martha Coakley in the January 19, 2010 election, and Kirk was history, so another 4 months....

Re: Texas ...
RAZD, they won't ever get elected in the R primaries. The talk radios will kill them before arrival. You're counting on no brains from the R side.
