This is the one that's going to amount to the deciding factor as to who controls the Senate, if not technically, then in reality. Because of all the ones that the Republicans had a legitimate chance of winning, this one might very well go down as the one they did not win.
Or, it could be the Democrats that are left out in the cold, and in the minority, when this last best hope of retaining their majority are swept away with this final punctuating loss. But just judging by this card, I'm seeing my way clear to at least predict the future make-up of the Senate.
Democrats- 49 + 2 independent fellow caucus members, thereby keeping them in the majority.
Republicans-49
Or it could be Republicans 51 and Democrats 47 + 2.
Ya know, I think I like the sound of that. The eight of cups could well signify Michael Bennett having to come to grips with the loss of his one true love-the political power his appointment to the Senate granted him for one slight, brief moment in the sun.
It could also mean that Republican and Tea-Party supported candidate Ken Buck-the man who believes being gay is a choice and who referred to the likelihood that a jury would probably see the plight of one particular rape victim, if she chose to go to trial, as a case of buyer's remorse-will have a hard time adjusting to the realities of present day Washington, which isn't going to change in a hurry.
