58. Hey...reality check here.
At this point we may not have a "super majority" in Congress. We do have a majority (at this point) and the republicans governed and passed all of their corporate legislation with a simple majority. This is a "shot over the bow." If the Democrats do not immediately change course and start being Democrats (Progressive, for the majority of Americans not the elite), then they are through. We need a viable third party, which I have posted til I am sick of saying so, every Progressive,I think, realizes this by now. We have, in Congress, a few members who actually govern for the (95% majority) of the people. They need to form a political party of their own. It is the only alternative to the "right of center" "Democrats" who currently are in power. A "right of center" Democrat is a republican. I hope the current administration will now open it's eyes and see and smell the shit that they are in. Obama the candidate railed against corporate rule. Obama the president is just the opposite. If he makes an immediate return to Obama the candidates ideas, he can retain Democratic control. If not, it's back to republicans, one party, two faces...
