You should always worry of there is a compromise with the Republicans tailored by senators such as Lieberman, Nelson etc. etc.
We have lost, dearly. Those who won were the Republicans, "emasculating" the Democrats for the future, and the Bush admin. getting their vote on the extremest judges.
Shall we congratulate ourselves?
Not till the Democrats are willing to stand up to the Republicans.
