Since Obama has signaled he is willing to give away anything and everything to get this one victory
Edited on Tue Mar-09-10 02:27 PM by Winterblues
Why would any Democratic NO vote be willing to change their vote unless they get whatever it is they want? Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman proved Obama can be rolled so why not hold out for the max? IMO they would be fools not to. :shrug: See how capitulation works....

1. I think you have it backwards--he agreed with Nelson & Lieberman and the progressives
were forced to capitulate.

2. He has given in to just about any force that went against him..
Especially from the Conservative side, but he has given in.. He has established that he is willing to give up virtually anything for success in this one instance..
