Dick Morris, one of this thread's favorite analysts, explained this point right after the 1996 election:

"But it won't work. President Clinton needs to remember the math. To pass a law in the Senate, a simple majority is no longer enough. The pervasive use of the filibuster by both parties makes 60 votes the goal for legislative success. Clinton does not have 60 votes in the Senate. In the House too he needs help from Republicans to pass his bills."
