It makes one wonder if they fumbled it or spiked it...I mean, c'mon, no one could be that spineless all the time, or that unlucky, or that bad a negotiator.

What I don't get is why is it that time after time they will make a stand on principle that gets them plastered in the press, then they cave AFTER the damage is done.

They have already abandoned the principle here, agreeing to a federalized screener work force makes them look weak for not standing up for what they believe, and vindictive for stretching out the time for it to happen. If they were going to agree to it, they should have just gone whole hog and implemented it today.

Stupid party. Put Rich Galen in charge or something.

Shhhh ... common sense where the GOP is concerned is strictly verboten.
