National Review's Whip Count...Boehner might actually be able to pass his new bill

The difference is Pelosi got the votes. It's looking like Boehner is looking like he won't. Huge blow to any power he claims to have.

The Bailout failed the first time, too. It got passed and every Establishment Politician went on their merry way pretending nothing ever went wrong. Boehner will be fine and he'll get the votes he needs. The Establishment wins every time.

You're probably right. It will pass sooner or later. But I just hope it's drawn out for a long time. I enjoy seeing Boehner with egg on his face.

How can Boehner envoke panic.

That's what he needs to push it over the top.

Will Boehner engineer a good Cornhusker kickback type deal for one of the fence sitters?

Maybe some behind the scenes insider trading deals?

Glad someone has mentioned it. It's the same game every time. The people haven't changed since the bailout or the health care bill.
 
Thanks TCE!

Also, just heard the vote won't be happening tonight on FOX. Not sure what this means in the long run, but I savor the moment.
 
Carly Fiorina on CNN whining about those damn freshman Republicans who can't accept the "huge progress made tonight.":rolleyes:

CONGRESS THREATENED WITH MARTIAL LAW IF BAILOUT BILL DOESN'T PASS

As I understand it the Senate will reject Boehner's bill outright but could use it to engineer a bill that will be labeled as a compromise... i.e. make it worse.

I think so to. Reid will "find some stuff he likes" in the Boehner bill so that they can reach a grand compromise.
 
Just to be clear, no one here actually thinks they won't raise the debt ceiling...right? That isn't even an option anymore given all of this Armageddon and end of the world talk they've been preaching.
 
They will. Even if this bill doesn't pass they'll "figure out" how to do it. This is following the same script as the bailouts. If the playwrights want it to pass, it'll pass.
