Either way somebody will judge it to be a victory if the (R) just look bad and lose the next election.
Others will only consider it to be a victory of the House does it's little job of passing the only kind of bill that the Senate and the President have said they'd agree to. (Rather like the President's job is signing any bill that the the chambers of Congess agree to, and the Senate's job is passing bills that the House and President would agree to.)

And that sarah palin would come down with a non ending form of laryngitis.

He was smiling in one of the pics I saw this morning, I don't like when he smiles.

(2,983 posts)Hey, I hope you're right, but I never thought they would shut down the government in the first place. I never thought we would come this close to a default, either. Whatever ends up on the table, I'm nervous that Republicans will find a way to destroy it.

(28,261 posts)Sorry, but there have been WAY too many advance declarations of victory during this whole sorry mess. This country is in a lot worse shape than I ever thought it was.
