How many Repug Senate seats are up for election in 2006?
And how many votes does it take to impeach in the House and convict in the Senate?

1. Not enough.
I don't remember the exact numbers, but even an impossible 100% sweep of all senate seats in 06 still leaves us short of the 67 seats needed for a 2/3 majority.

However, such a sweep would scare some Repubs into switching parties.
