Could he try?

I believe he has and Daschle came right out and stated that he would advance full funding without any restraints...

And since Daschle is the President of this country with a 200% approval level, then that is what we will get. Bush could choke Daschle if he wants to. But, he simply does not care about this issue at all. He thinks it is not worth it to go to the mattresses over this. He wants to have his approval level high, because he wants to be reelected just like everyone else. He will be back in 2004 asking for votes, with a bigger bag of lies.
