My $10 is on Harry Reid to win,.
Edited on Thu Jul-28-11 03:44 PM by JohnnyLib2
Merits and demerits aside, Ol' Harry has my bet to put through a proposal with his name on it. He's got the experience, the tenacity, the deals made in the shade.

Whether the "win" is good or bad in the long run can't be predicted.

Step up and place your bets, the window is about to close.

4. I would not bet one dollar either way.
We do not know what either party has up their sleeve. It is a game of brinkmanship where each side is hoping the other side will blink. If Obama had not blinked in the pass, I would agree with you.

8. Looking like it might go that way.
Boehner plan fails, Reid plan fails. Oppsie, lets just do the clean bill and be done with it.

7. nobody wins
I think we are just getting pawned by our overlords whatever happens.

Everything is a crisis.

Everything will be pockmarked with personal dalliances.


Wall street - record bonuses
Bankers more control


sigh

None of this is football but they all gin up the masses
