You do realize that it takes 67 votes in the senate for removal from office. If my numbers are right, that means the republicans have to win 22 additional seats.

Yep, and then there is this bit of info:

“There are 36 U.S. Senate seats up for election in 2014. Of those seats, 15 are currently held by Republicans and 21 are held by Democrats.”

So, even if we won EVERY SINGLE SEAT at play in 2014, we’d still be one vote short to convict (and that is if every Republican voted down the line to convict).
