Starting day 2.
First: I do not think that the repubs will cave. I heard that FNC is going to be covering the event (kind of like CSPAN2) live this morning. If they do, that will be very good for our cause, because the donks made utter fools out of themselves yesterday. The more people who see this for what it is the better.
Second: After listening to >>3 years of "bush lied" "repubs are eeeeevil", "hailburton runs our country", "We got involved in afganistan because of a oil pipeline", etc, I think that Americans are tone deaf to the donks and their over the top rhetoric. The more they appeal to their base the less they appeal to middle America. They could not be in a worse position.
Third: Any deals behind closed doors is a political bullet in the head of any repub who signs on to the deal. Not just presidential aspirations, but I'd say that the base would be mad enough to recall any senators who vote against the party in this matter. I wonder if AZ has a recall for it's senators...
So are we keeping this thread going or are we starting a new one? Anyone know?
