Open Left

Your math is absurd.

See below as well.

The Blue Dogs recently announced expansion of their statutory limit to 59, which is self imposed.  Initially the restricted membership to only southern seats, and even recently have only allowed a few non-southerners into the Caucus.  What that means is there are a significant amount of blue dog voters who are not in the caucus.  Some of them are quiet about it, and some more vocal...they may vote with us on the House floor, but they are killing us in committees and cloak room negotiations.

The majority is 76 seats, assuming everyone is in attendance.

How big a majority do you need?  No more blue dogs.
