Set Romney and the election aside for a moment, forget about the Republican Governors, ignore .....
Just for a moment set all of the political turmoil to the side and consider this. The rules of the Senate allow for a very short window of opportunity during which the Rules of the Senate may be changed. That window will open for a fleeting moment right after the election.
This is just my opinion, but it seems to me that the strongest tool the Republican Party has used to control Government for the last three and a half years has been the misuse of the Filibuster* in the Senate. Meaningful legislation has been stopped dead in its tracks by the rule that causes a super-majority to vote to end debate.
If this rule is not changed the next four years will be just like the last three, just with increasing rancor and if my guess is correct increasing violence in the streets. I think this and election fraud (not voter fraud) are the two most important issues facing the Democratic Party in the next half year.
* a filibuster in which no one is actually required to take to the floor and speak
