Ignoring the NRA’s get-eaten-last strategy for the moment… I dunno, Glenn. Based on the numbers: if we’re spotting an additional five points to the Senate races then if Reid had lost he’d have been joined with Bennett and Murray, making the end result a 50/50 tie and Joe Biden expected to explicitly sign off on all the legislation that gets passed in the 112th Congress. That would have been fun.
But what’s done is done.
