Exactly! I have to admire the Weekend at Bernie's thing they have done with it, got alot of mileage out of it. See it's about politics, duh right, this whole Kabuki theatre, the whole calculus has been to shore up the kook base, the center is gone. Once Joe SixPack sees his $515 dollar paycheck go down to $456 next year after ObamaCare and the taxes and the Bush tax cuts expiring, they are dead, it's over. Add in the radical left leaving and it could be a total wipe out and super majority for the Pubbies and an Obama impeachment.
Wishfull thinking maybe, but assume Pelosi does not have the votes. She floats the idea of recon out there to but the pressure on Reid to get the bill to a point where she might have the votes. Reid knows this will not work as he really never brought it up. He appears to always be sort of like he just thought of having sex with Pelosi when it is mentioned. This gives her an out. Now, what is the end game. I am not sure. Maybe someone can help out there.
