I never said he's moved right. I'm saying his recent history with the Dems has made him more adversarial. He's resisted on health care, a jobless benefit package, etc. He doesn't deserve to be counted in the super majority.

If Republicans had 60 senators it would be different because they tend to tow the party line more. Dems by their nature are more independent so even if they had 60 senators (which they never had) it wouldn't necessarily mean anything, especially with the recent influx of blue dogs.
