Election of Al Franken: Time for the Democrats to Deliver

July 1st, 2009

The lead article in today’s New York Times is titled, “Minnesota Court Rules Democrat Won Senate Seat.” It describes the election of Al Franken to the U.S. Senate and the concession (at last!) of Norm Coleman. The final denoument came about after a 5-0 vote by the Minnesota Supreme Court and the refusal of Norm Coleman to appeal to federal court to overrule it.

The election of Al Franken gives the Democrats a 60-vote total in the Senate, thus making it possible for them to overrule any Republican filibuster. Despite the Party’s attempt to lower expectations, and the Republicans’ attempt to raise them, the margin makes real change possible in this country. As Bill Maher might say, “It’s time for the Democrats to stand up to the plate and deliver.”

Reining in healthcare costs and providing clean energy jobs for American citizens are among the most noble goals of President Obama and his administration. And it’s exciting to think that with responsible legislating and just a little Party unity, they are now within sight.

If the Democrats’ are unable to deliver on these legislative promises, it would be a sad day for the nation and would raise the specter of permanent gridlock for the foreseeable future.

Every patriotic American should be rooting for the Democrats to succeed.
