Great DailyKos article explaining, and citing, how Rachel Maddow flays deluded Senate Republican now calling for 80 votes to pass health care reform.
Key fact: even if the Constitution did not contemplate the passage of almost all legislation by simple majority (filibuster not even mentioned in the Constitution), Democratic Senators represent twice the population of Republican Senators.
* Votes cast for the 40 Republican senators: 44.2 million
* Votes cast for the 60 Democratic senators: 82.3 million
