Therefore, there will be no supermajority for the Democrats in the Senate.
Lynch has tapped New Hampshire politico Bonnie Newman, who once worked for Reagan and Bush I. Newman is a moderate Republican and is considered to be a weak opponent for whomever the Dems throw up against her in 2010. In fact, some are speculating that Lynch has asked Newman not to run at all. I'll see what I can dig up about Newman's positions on LGBT rights.
