I hope Obama waits for McCain to weigh in on the agreement. Bastard can't be trusted

The only reason republicans were welcoming McCain back to Washington was to persuade him to lead a revolt against any compromise between the WH and Democrats. Both Boehner and McConnell have made noises like they want to bolt.

I'm waiting to see whether McCain will embrace the compromise or try and stand apart from the process and grandstand. Given his track record, I'd bet on him staging some sort of revolt, IF he can find enough republicans in Washington to stand beside him.

It would be a win-win for him to posture as if he's at odds with both the Democrats and his nemesis, Bush, on this largely unpopular legislation.

1. I'm thinking McCain wants to make this go on as long as possible

so he doesn't have to go to the debate. How self-serving is that?

2. He probably expected it to

. . . and you're right, he'll likely try and find a way to balk and get enough republicans to do a political hold-out until next week

3. since we control both houses- do we get to say who votes first or in what order?

I'd like to see the pukes on record before our guys commit- especially mchoover.

4. well,

they can change their votes before the final tally is called

[dysfunctional press]

5. playing those kinds of political games at this point would further enrage the american people.
