I made that statement based on an analysis done by Tom Campbell on election
night.  Evidently, he thought the democrats would have 60 seats based
on the current projections.  Obviously, two republicans must have won
some races they were projected to lose.  According to yesterday's 
Chronicle, the democrats will have 58 seats in the new Senate.  That is
two short of the vote needed for cloture.  I still think that for many
of the votes coming up, the republicans won't have enough votes to
filibuster.  For example, Family leave, Freedom of Choice act, and now
a Capital gains tax cut and an increase in taxes on incomes over $200,000.
