12,000,000 voters pulling the (D) button come November 2010 and 2012...not a chance he would ever do anything to jeopardize that chance at another 4 years.
“not a chance he would ever do anything to jeopardize that chance at another 4 years.”
True enough, but if they fail at immigration reform this year, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell he’ll get to pass it with the Republican Congress he’ll face starting in 2011. I do worry that his claim not to try and tackle immigration reform this year is a feint and that when the handwriting is on the wall Nov. 2, he’ll order Congress back for a lame-duck session to ram through immigration reform, an energy bill and VAT during the last fleeting moments of a Dem majority.
