I don’t think it is party switching. I think it is about upcoming votes....first and foremost...Elena Kagan.
Maybe Kagan although Kagan has not need for any GOP votes since the GOP will not fillerbuster her. I think like others have said its crap and tax.
No.....This is all about Crap & Tax before November. They NEED that revenue NOW! And perhaps maybe they are going to throw in Amnesty, and are exchanging ideas on how to go about it. I'm sure they have some big donors who can hardly wait to sink their teeth into that plump, juicy source of unlimited and jail-proof corruption known as Cap & Trade. Hell, neither can they!
