Stat of the week
Did you know?
There are 55 Republicans in the Senate, 44 Democrats, one independent.
Of the 55 Republicans (who hold the majority), they represent 131 million people fom their states. Of the 44 Democrats, they represent 161 million people.
The present Senate is the product of the last three elections (2000, 2002, 2004). In these elections, the total vote for Democratic senatorial candidates, winning and losing, was 99.7 million; for Republicans it was 97.3 million.
The forty-four person Senate Democratic, therefore, represents a two-million-plus popular majority. Yet, Democrats are the majority...nice!
