Why We Need 60 Votes in the Senate

The Republicans's goal was to filibuster and block everything the Democrats sought to do since 2006, when they technically received a "majority" of one in the U.S. Senate. That "majority" of one vote comes down to Joe Lieberman, who caucuses with the Democratic Party.

We need 60 votes to change that. It is not just about Obama. He won't be able to get a thing done without 60 votes in the senate.

Remember the "nuclear" option?
