Whether you like it or not McKain leads. Frist wrings his hands.

Yep. This undermines Frist; he couldn't get this deal done.

The Dems got nothing. The Republicans get three, and can always shoot the filibuster in the future.

BS and hogwash! The republicans lay down again and don't use their power we voted for.....

I think the deal was that the Republicans would oppose any change in the rules during this congress without exception which is a big loss considering that the Democrats put conditions on the pledge to refrain from filibustering.
