WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sens. Mitch McConnell and Elizabeth Dole are two top Republicans lawmakers who find themselves fighting to hold on to their Senate seats.
They're also two reasons why Democrats are talking 60 -- the number of seats needed to secure filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
"We are feeling really good that we are going to pick up a successful amount of the larger number of seats and have a successful election. As for 60? It is possible," said New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who runs campaign operations for the Senate Democrats.
Can you say renewed Assault Weapons Ban? I knew that you could...
Nothing like counting your chickens before they hatch, eh Chuck?
Lots and lots at stake next Tuesday, folks. Please don't stay home or sit this one out just to teach the GOP a lesson. Handing the Democrats all three branches of government with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate would be a really bad fucking thing. And think back to the last time it happened. 1977...
That is all.

AWB? Don't aim so low.
Remember His Highness Obama saying "I couldn't take your guns even if I wanted to - I won't have the votes"? (Words to that effect...)
Well, he's about to have the votes.
If the Dems get the WH *and* 60 votes in the Senate, that's the ballgame, folks.
