What happens if/when later, after further review, Congress is forced to agree that there is no reason to stop this deal?

A new Congress.

A new Congress.

I don't see it, personally -- if you mean a D takeover.

This is a short-term gain (shock-n-awe PR), long-term pain (even greater loss of credibility) for the D's. Much like the last 50 D political offensives. Remember the good press they got on the filibuster try recently? And the bigger the early bounce, the harder the eventual fall.

Good poll #'s today, sure. And when in 45 days if no one has come up with a single credible real objection to this company . . . all the opponents of this will look like knee-jerk untrustworthy fools.

Well you better get a new congress then. While everyone was ranting and raving the deal was closed last night at midnight. DP owns P&Q. Nobody's opinion is going to change it. Case closed.
