to announce he has locked up the votes for democratic whip.

Good news. I like Dorgan as a guy, but I think we can see the danger of having a red state Senator in a high visibility leadership position. Durbin’s been a hell of a fighter laterly and he’ll do a great job.

I agree, but I wish he had been voted as Leader.
Me too. It’s all good for Illinois, though. We have two tremendous senators and one hell of a governor’s race to participate in. God help us if they nominate Blago again, though.
