Has anyone gotten 65 ever? I think getting a majority of solid Conservatives in place of these RINO Mike Castle style RINO Senators would work. We can pick off some of the less doctrinaire Democrats Senators, especially if the tide is flowing so strong against them.

Reagan got lots done without controlling the Congress, it can be done if the will of the voters is made clear enough by the results. Problem has been since 1994 voters keep sending mix signals s every other election.

I'm sure the GOP had a 2/3 in the Civil War. The point is, this culling out of the RINOS is key because then we won't need 65, we'll only need 60, and that's attainable.

But hear me on this: the closer you get to 60, the harder it will be to get that last RINO, because they will know that everything hinges on their vote. So it will in the short-term make Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins and Grahamnesty the most important people in the Senate.
