60 isn’t veto proof, just filibuster proof. They need 67 for a veto override.

There's no way in hell they're getting 60.

The Dems will pick up Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado. Probably North Carolina, New Hampshire and Oregon. Possibly Minnesota and Alaska, depending on the verdict. If they win every one of those, which I think is almost certainly not going to happen, that still only gets them to 59 seats assuming you count Joe Lieberman.

They'd still have to shoot the moon and win either Georgia or Kentucky, which I think is extremely unlikely.

certainly. I was just trying to make the point that with McCain as prez, he really can put a halt to the liberal wet dream that is going on. Him actually doing it is another story. He probably won’t run for a second term, so he’s pretty free to do as he wishes.
