The Chron Makes Up Its Own Alternate Reality.
Carolyn Lochhead, propagandist for the GOP:
Facing a conservative primary challenge, moderate Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania is switching to the Democratic Party.
If Al Franken wins the Minnesota seat, that gives Democrats a 60-vote filibuster-proof Senate majority and President Obama an LBJ-style shot at history.
If? You mean, if he had received more votes on election day? You mean, if a court had rebuked the appeal of his opponent?
It's hypothetical, in Lochhead's view, that Franken won, because elections don't matter for GOP hacks like her.
