If you think the porkulus package is going to be defeated then you are living in fantasyland. The numbers are stacked against the GOP - the best they can do is try to cut some of the pork and add some tax cuts in the Senate version. Otherwise, it’s a done deal.
Here in fantasyland, where I've listened carefully to what the senators, both republican and democrat, are actually saying, I am seeing substantial resistance building to this pork package. There are fiscally conservative democrats that are not going along.

This legislation has already been passed out of 2 senate committees and has passed in the House. Unless it is defeated in total, it will pass largely unchanged in the senate. This is not at a stage where the bill is going to be substantially rewritten to get support. Ask Sen. Sessions if you don't believe me. He just said this live on FoxNews.
