@steve_vladeck
Three huge differences between a 50-50 and 51-49 D majority:
1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;
2) No single D Senator can hijack/block nominations; and
3) Ds can have *two* members absent and still hold votes.

Just imagine what a great news conference it would be to have them explain what Jesus means to them. And how it would help them represent the people.
