How many more DEM seats do we need to have a VETO PROOF majority?

Wonder is this is a plausible possibility for Congress in 08?
EDIT: Of course, this question would have a different slant with a DEM President! This is probably easier to achieve in 08 then being VETO PROOF :kick:
what are the chances of picking up ANY seats in Congress if the public votes in another repuke President?
Pretty much zero. If the country goes for a repuke, there isn't any point in thinking about a veto proof majority... we'll be lucky to hold to a simple majority.
And if a Democratic President wins in 2008 we don't need a veto proof majority.
8. 2/3 of the House and 2/3 of the Senate for overrides

...so 290 reps and 67 senators...hmmm...one can hope, but it will take landslides of 1932-34 proportion to do it. The one positive is that I have heard about 2/3 of the senators up for re-election in '08 are Rethugs.
