While this story makes Steve appear to be like a winner, it just isn't the case. The Senate Coup basically failed (albeit the Republicans still have the 'majority', it means nothing without a quorum) And since a large portion of the strategy was based on the notion of other people defecting, this coup will ultimately cast Pigeon as a pariah in both parties. As always, Steve comes close, but doesn't get the job done. A objective look at his history in politics yields one true conclusion: he's consistent. Comes close, but doesn't get there. What a joke.
