Whoa

So, the bill fails. You have to wonder how this happened. All morning we've been hearing that the Dems said they could deliver half and that they needed the GOP to deliver half. And now we see the Dems have delivered far more than half and the Republicans whiffed. Did the GOP lie and stab the Democrats in the back or did the Dems bring this to the floor knowing it would fail? (I think you can guess what I'd bet on.)

This is getting very, very interesting. Keep your eye on McCain.


The vote has been held open and they still need ten more. That sounds like a tall order.
