WI: Mondale Wins in 2002

, no Norm Coleman holding up Franken's swearing in in 2009 means that from 2009-2011 the Democrats have a filibuster-proof majority for 2 years, instead of 13 weeks.[/QUOTE]
ITTL the Democrats still lose their filibuster proof majority when Scott Brown wins.
 
But without the economy tanking as OTL, will we have a Democratic majority in 2009?

Oh, the economy is still going to tank; just, possibly, not as bad as in OTL. The Great Recession was caused by some very deep structural problems with the economy, and eliminating a single tax cut won't elimiante those issues, although it may moderate them somewhat.

Also, even without a major economic collapse, the Republican brand had been badly wounded by W., and its a safe bet that the Democrats would have to try very hard to lose the 2008 election!
