Enough for cloture. Not enough to override a veto.

It is astonishing to see how many MSM stories manage to avoid the f-word. They say that the Senate "defeated" the pipeline, when the Senate voted 59-41 in favor. The Senate failed to break a filibuster, but reporting that accurately would hang the obstructionist tag around Reid, and the MSM won't do that.

“Not enough to override a veto.”

Go nuclear. Reid did it. Might as well, being the majority allows pubs to spend two years writing their own rules to box in Obama.
