Saw a post on one the the Dick Morris threads, that 112 is a veto proof House :)

BUT wouldn't we still need a veto proof Senate also in order to get anything passed that the undocumented won won't sign?

“wouldn’t we still need a veto proof Senate also....”

Good point, and that is a tougher target.
Should still have targets tho. Maybe next cycle?

Technically you are correct. However, you have to consider the political pressure put on the Senate by the election of a super conservative House. 33 Senators should be up for election in 2012. Are they going to vote to sustain a veto against something the public really wants? Do they want that to be the primary record remembered at the next election?

So there is reason to hope for over-riding unpopular vetoes by 0bama.
