McCain’s behavior on the whole issue is a given. Considering it was when he was “acting” like a conservative that his polls rose, I’m not shocked at all his reverting to Democrat lite type as resulted in huge losses.
But House Republicans have no responsibility to follow him. They don’t have to vote for this bill. They can hang it on the Democrats. It sounds like enough are going to give the Democrat’s cover instead. Then the Democrat’s will turn around and use it against them in their congressional races.
What I want is the House Republicans en masse to vote it down. That’s the only action that’ll renew some energy.
Gingrey on FOX said he believes a lot of the House Repubs are going to vote NO tomorrow. Speculation that if enough vote NO the blue dog democrats aren’t going to sign on either. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. I feel a tad better knowing that a bunch of them are going to vote NO. Wish it was unamimous.
