It isn't going to happen. The Democrats will get close but won't make it. Even if there was that filibust proof number, there are a number of "Blue Dog" Democrats that could oppose some things. That would stop the majority.

Johnny V, George Bush’s budget that he has submitted for 2009 is 500 BILLION in deficit. That is before any natural disasters kick in. This is largest deficit submitted in any fiscal budget in our history. Half a trillion dollars added to the national deficit in one year.. In fact, you're truly uneducated!

The Magic Number: 60!

well, that's socialism for you. they don't want diversity of opinion; they want uniformity.

Or the smartest since something will actually get done. Good or bad. The Republicans have blocked so much in the past two years since they have threatened filibuster so much and Reid(D) didn't force the Republicans to stop the Senate. Personally I think Reid should have to show the American public what the Republicans stand for.

Most Americans are astoundingly ignorant, apparently forgetting the past 4 years Democrats have run the congress and enacted these "Bush economic policies" and some were even enacted while Clinton was in office. Too many young and uneducated forgot about Jimmy Carter and now we can have Carter Jr for at least 4 more years, Hurray!

I don't think the American people realize how our checks and balances systems will be undermined with the potential for radical legislation. Stupid indeed.

If Kay Hagan defeats Elizabeth Dole, then you can bet on a 60 seat majority in the Senate.

Steve, "stupidest" isn't a word.
What does that say about your opinion on this or any topic?

agreed

oh yes. We painting the whIte house black. U knO

I absolutely agree. I've been far more concerned about the senate race than even the presidential election. It looks like a dangerous tipping point.

Actually I disagree Steve. The stupiedest thing the American people can do is elect George Bush as President...........................twice!!!! Oh alright, you elected Al Gore in 2001, I'll give you that one.

God help us....

Two senators I hope are defeated are Dole in NC and Chambliss in Gegoria. McConnell in Kentucky isn't as bad as those two...

Giving any party both the senate with more then 60 seats, and the house, as well as the presidency is absolutely the stupidest thing the American people can do.

thanks for sharing

THE whole world is watching us and rooting for an OBAMA VICTORY! We can regain our once great reputation as a leader in the world for POSITIVE CHANGE... Sarah Palin, who is one heart beat away from being president would bring us nothing but TROUBLE .. she needs an education and if she is such a big deal CHRISTIAN than she has already screwed away "THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.. one of the "big 10" .. and of course she and her daughter got "NAILED" before marriage.. the REPUBS are nothing but a clan of self-interested HYPOCRITES.. show me a 'green republican" and I'll show you a closet DEMOCRATE LOL
