On today's MJ Mike Allen from politico reported that McConnell plans on loading down the Senate Gun BG check bill with poison pill amendments designed to get the Senate Dems to ask Reid to pull the bill rather than have to vote on it, plus there are some vunerable Dems in the Senate worried about 2014.
He said the chances of a background check bill passing is 40% (<50%) even though libs were celebrating last weeks vote to get it on the floor. Morning Joe had a fit over that, keeps repeating how Republicans will lose in 2014 if they dont support Obama's gun control.
Allen said that immigration has a much higher 60% chance of passing Senate, thanks to Rubio.
This is a sign that they indeed think that they have the votes, but are hoping that people will let up the pressure on their representatives if they put out the lie that they don't have the votes. DON'T EVER TRUST ANYTHING ANYONE IN GOVERNMENT SAYS.
