If both the Progressive and Tea Party caucuses oppose this, the others in the middle vote for it?

[Change Happens]

Will that be a good sign? and a big win for the centrist President?

I am seeing Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinnich, Bernie Sanders and Jim Demint voting on the same side tonight!!!

1. What vote is tonight?

4. They are trying to get a house vote before the Asian markets open

11. The Progressive Caucus has just announced they are meeting

at 2:00 pm tomorrow. I assume they are trying to meet "before" a vote in the House.

I swear - you leave home for an hour and one gets so far behind.

14. Harry Reid is also trying to schedule a vote tonight

I wonder how many are out of town or en route back to DC?

2. Interesting.

The fringes come together.

7. LOL, exactly....

3. Don't forget the CBC

Congressional Black Congress all (except Allen West) signed off that they will ONLY vote for a stand-alone Debt Ceiling increase.

Likely overlap with the Progressives, but that is another line in the sand right now.

6. I'm guessing that pledge doesn't have all that much force

I'll believe it when I see it.

9. See the pledge or see them stick to it?

Happy to give you a link in case you missed their release the other day.

5. It happened on the House Cap-and-Trade bill

...Peter DeFazio and Ron Paul voting against, among others.

It's not as uncommon as you would think.

8. If, it is the deal we are hearing about, that's what I expect...

12. Well, Obama wants bipartisanship...maybe he'll get it. Be careful what you wish for.

[Edweird]

13. I'm pretty sure that NOBODY except idiots and assholes want this.
