Don't ever forget, the rat party needs Obama to get filibuster proof majorities in both the House and Senate so they will never take a position opposite their messiah, hence the stall for drilling until he moved

There are no filibusters in the House - simply majority is needed.

In the Senate, the filibuster is a Senate Rule, not a Constitutional requirement. Hence it can be overturned by a simple majority vote.

The Congress really can be broken down to 50%+1 for all victories, if desired. And if the Obamassiah wins, you can bet the Party of Slavery, the Democrats, will rescind the filibuster in the Senate and run roughshod over this great nation.

That was my point after all.

As for the house having a filibuster, I know they don't but if the dems gain any more seats on Obama coat tails in November, we will be in worse shape than ever
