I'm with TC on this one though - if we put it through reconciliation, we always could wind up with something worse. And even worse than that, the Repubs would win and guarantee that they would take possibly both the House and Senate. And that would be infinity worse, than Lisa G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02909155560510148815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776805599159893803.post-60634703559249616002009-12-16T15:35:33.538-08:002009-12-16T15:35:33.538-08:00What MadMike said.

It seems that the Democrat machine has learned to take a beating without even fighting back.
