Right now, questionable. I think some people here have a very tenuous grasp on reality at the moment. Most people on the Hill are very attuned to the broad strokes of this bill, which is one reason why the Dems were so eager to pass it and the House GOP were so opposed to it.
On the surface, the most clueless group is the Senate GOP. They had agreed to cave to everything the Democrats wanted before McCain showed up.
I agree with you on the Sen Repubs being spineless or clueless. What really concerns me is the Sen Repub leadership, or the lack thereof.
