They don't chair any committees and none of them ran for president this cycle.

In fact, only six are currently running for reelection to their seat in 2012.

But that has not stopped Republican U.S. Senators from dominating the media coverage among members of the nation's upper legislative chamber so far this year.

And it's not even close.

2. just look at their coverage of palin who is nobody. What is even worse is they effectively have

become a portal for republican talking points, the MSM that is

Today I heard them indicating how much problems Obama was going to have because the ACA is a tax and they cannot counter that

For a year and a half the media was telling us the ACA is not constitutional. Now that the court said it was, the MSM has left that in the dust and are propagating that the Democrats are going to lose both houses of Congress, and the ACA will be overturned

3. They're really trying to spin things, aren't they? (nt)
