"Don’t forget that to override a veto they will need 2/3rds or 67 votes, not just 61."

It would be a minor miracle if we got 60 votes to break a fillibuster. Don't even talk about 67 votes. That's not going to happen. Our best opportunity is to keep attaching this bill to everything, fillibuster any other bills that will come before the Senate until this is voted on and force Harry Reid to let it come to the floor for an up or down vote. Then get at least 4 of these Rats that are up for re-election to vote for it's repeal.

Sure, Obama will veto it, but lets get him on record vetoing it. Let's get all these Rats on record with their vote of the repeal. In 2012, we'll solve this at the ballot box and their no votes and vetos will be in many commercials.
