Republicans will only have 10 seats up for election: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2012

They could modify the Senate rules on filibusters at the beginning of the next Senate, but they also could
have done the same at the beginning of this one and Reid passed on that.

Then wouldn't filibusters be much more difficult? Cannot the majority change a rule by simple majority?

For example they could change the rules to make people that want to filibuster actually stand up and talk for as long
as they want to filibuster instead of as it is now where they just have to threaten to filibuster.

There was a lot of discussion about making changes at the beginning of the current Senate (much speculation in the
media and several DU threads) but it came to nothing.

Well, it has come around and now it is time to go around...

10 % of the population can stop the Senate from doing anything.

and it didn't work. Now it is time to go full force and bring back the bills that were blocked and filibustered by the rethugs because they wanted to "make Obama a one term president." In many cases they were bills first proposed by the rethugs, but when Obama supported them, they were now voted against and to hell with what the American people wanted. I worked hard on the Obama campaign in 2008 and plan to work even harder this time around. I can't imagine our country with Romney in the White House. I'm afraid it would be bush on steroids.

Outlaw everything the right wingers accuse them of wanting to outlaw.

Oh, unless you mean that perhaps they learned their lesson from the 2009-10 debacle? In which case, letting the Bush tax cuts expire. I'm okay with paying a little more if the wealthy are paying the same percentage more. We could finish off those two wars we're still prosecuting, and get the hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Probably save a lot of money right there. Maybe they could make the Department of Labor work a little more forcefully on behalf of Labor, and protect every worker's rights.

Most of all, I'd like to see the Democrats govern like Democrats, and at least pretend that the voters who voted them into office matter to their political fortunes.

and they do not get treated as equal. They are now a third class citizens, next to the child molestors.

Fix filibusters so that if they intend to filibuster, they must do it in its entiriety and in its proper format. Any attempt to threaten filibuster will be forced to do a real filibuster. No more 60+ majority crap. Reid needs to be smacked upside the head for that idea.

Republicans will be forced to sit in a corner, quietly and electrodes attached to their parts and every time they think right-wing, they get automatically shocked until they call it quits. Then the electrodes can be removed. Surgically. Without anethesia.

Also, finally, move all the Republicans and the tea partiers into Northern Marinara Islands where it's still an US territory, but they're ignoring just about every law that the US enacted. Once every right-wing fuckwits are there, declare Northern Marinaras annexed to Iran.

Dismantle the Military Industrial Complex.

Enough Senate Dems will cave to the Repug filibuster, under pressure from the "liberally-biased corporate media".

And no, I'm not counting the "independents", or even Joe Lieberman, in that 62 ... (I believe JL isn't running again ... GOOD!)

Just being him is a crime against humanity.

Sounds like a good place to start.
