Waving a magic flag and saying “Not if we get the Super majority” doesn’t make getting to 2/3 in the Senate any easier. We’d need to gain 20 seats to get there and that would still leave RINOs Graham, McCain and Collins (in a Freeper fantasy land we’d replace RINOs Snowe and Brown with extra DeMint’s in 2012 along with defeating 20 of the 23 Rats and independents up for re-election.) To have done that well last fall we’d have needed to win 35 more House seats than we did, plus pick up Senate seats in DE, CA, WV, WA, OR and beat out Murky in AK. It’s just unrealistic when only 2/3 of the Senate will have faced the post-Tea Party electorate to have a 2/3 conservative majority there. Now, maybe after 2014, if we can change the usual 1st mid term losses into further gains such would be possible. Shoot for 60 rather than 67. Aim for replacing just Snowe of the hard core blue state RINOs, we won’t do any better than Brown in MA this go around. Upgrade Lugar, Hatch and any other red state RINO running. That can be achieved and will let a President with strong leadership skills (unlike W) push a conservative agenda past what’s left of the Senate lefties.

It’s possible. Reach for the stars and miss. Total wipeout.

That being said, best to destroy Obama and pour over the Senate and the house.
