Those poor Republicans

Here is a prediction: after the election in November of 2010, the Republican Party will deeply, deeply regret letting some 30 Senators vote against the Franken Amendment prohibiting government contractors from forcing employees to settle sexual abuse claims in private arbitration rather than the courts.

There is a quiet rage in the country about this among the kind of women who might or might not vote Republican. My guess: almost none of them will, and it will hurt the GOP more than they can imagine right now.
