Will they vote? Will they not vote? Will Boner be able to control or overcome the teabaggers?
There is a part of me that is rooting for the baggers so we do, indeed, go over the cliff. We can then start with a fresh sheet of paper and the baggers will get the blame. Yeah, I know. Simplistic. But that's how I feel.
So, back to the central point: what do you think will happen when the House goes back in session today?

Will the House be able to swallow the 1 to 1 revenue/spending provision for the sequester talks?
Must see teevee!

I would imagine Boehner partied last night and won't feel that great today.
