All it takes in the Senate is one vote to overturn the veto. There is a lot of back door dealing going on to get that one vote in the Senate. Not so much for the House.

They got 59 votes, it looks like 8 not one is the number required to overturn the veto in the senate.

You're thinking they only need 60 votes to overturn. The Constitution says overturning a Presidential veto requires 2/3 of the Senate (i.e., 67 votes).
