Reply #4: The number is 67 [View All]

"Braude: So what it sounds like what you're saying is, quite overtly, is that nothing is going to happen until '08.

Kerry: I am saying it overtly. This President will veto whatever it is we do, but we have to have the fight and we have to have to do everything in our power to be able to change the attitude of people in the country and the debate, hopefully, sharpens the arguments and gives people a sense of what's really at stake."

We have to have the fight, but we do need to remember that the magic number is 67. We either need a Dem President or 67 in the Senate to have the full power to end this war. In the meantime, it's about changing the minds that need to be changed, not the ones already on our side.
