I firmly believe that if it were not for Cruz - Obama would have been catered to by Boehner.

Absolutely. We're on the knife's edge, and Ted has brought us back from the brink.

I heard on the radio (sorry, I can't remember the source) that Boehner said that he couldn't fully fund the government, even if he wanted to, simply because he can't whip enough votes.

It seems reasonable to assume that Boehner decided to jump in front of the parade.

Ted's still going to have to fight the Collaborators every step of the way. I have no doubt that he will, and I'm confident that he can win.

He's thrashing McConnell, Boehner, Reid, Pelosi and Obama, almost single-handedly.

This truly is a perfect storm- because I am sure there are polls out there for Graham, Boehner, and Mcconnell that show they are in trouble for reelection.
One key thing is that they need to hold out long enough for people to get on the Healthcare website and see just how bad it is going to be for them.
