Thanks! I hope no one thinks I am writing off the presidential contests. I would not. I want so much to grab everyone that is disparaging over the Republican presidential candidates this year, shake them, and hope to grab their attention.

I know you are aware of the countless posts made on FR, and elsewhere, raising fear over how the next president may change immigration law, affect taxes, or make Supreme Court appointments. In every instance, the president, whoever that is to be, will have to go through the Congress. In the Senate, many of the staunchest conservative seats will be challenged this year. The race for the White House is a major political battle. The bigger battle will be for control of the Senate as the change in composition of the Senate could either support a liberal president, or win a veto-proof majority to force even a conservative president to abandon principles.

It would be good for everyone to begin working now on Congressional District races too. All are up for reelection.

or win a veto-proof majority

If the Democrats seriously get a veto-proof majority, does that mean that they can pass anything they want. For example, if they want to vote on a pro gay marriage and they get veto proof majority does that automatically go through or is there something that the Republicans that are left can do?
