    Greenwald wrong re Dem Senate control 2000 -2002

    Don't let facts interfere, but the Dems did not control the Senate for all of 2001 and the Reps did not control it for all of 2002. It was the Reps until1/01- 6/01 (Jeffords left the Rep party), and the Reps took it back 1/03. I'll do Greenwald the way he'd do Palin: if he gets this wrong (see his diagram) he probably knows nothing. And if I misread his diagram he doesn't know how to draw.
