What do you think tonight, is it going to blow or isn't it?

1. Probably no default

I'm kind of surprised it's gotten this close to the wire, but something will give before Tuesday.

[undeterred]

2. An asteroid is going to hit us, so we will never know.

[ThoughtCriminal]

8. If Obama could stop that Asteroid

The GOP would find a way to be "Pro-Impact".

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

11. That Asteroid has valuable metals and Obama cheated us out of it.

Obama interfered with God's will.
They will twist anything .... they are just better at deception then we are.

[undeterred]

15. Maybe Boner will catch the asteroid with his teeth.

3. Those teabaggers are not going to give. 14th amendment is next.

[bigwillq]

4. They can't default.

Neither party wants that on their record. They'll make a last minute deal then pat each other on the back in the name of "bipartisanship"

[Rex]

5. The Teabaggers are going to cause a default and then tell

their braindead worshippers that Obama caused the default. Bank on it.

[Earth_First]

6. Something will give...

It's 11th hour politics at it's worst.

Now it's even more prudent that we pay attention...

[nevergiveup]

7. No default

This has always been all drama and "much ado about nothing".

[lonestarnot]

10. On that I agree, much ado bout shit. GOP attempt at creating manufacturing jobs.

[Raine]

13. Agree, it's all manufactured drama. nt

[emilyg]

9. No default.

[On the Road]

12. The Deadline WIll Pass,

but that does not equate to a default. I believe Obama will keep making interest payments and withold money from other government functions. As he should.

[pampango]

14. Default unless Reid/Obama blink since the teabaggers won't.

Tea party will lose the battle if this goes beyond August 2. Repub big money will eventually force them to blink but not til the end of August and lots of chaos and damage to people.

Obama can "win" this by not blinking first, but he would have to be willing to hurt a lot of us in order to land a body blow to the tea party. The advantage of zealots is they don't care how many people get hurt. I'm not sure that Obama will call their bluff (which really isn't a bluff come to think of it since they really want things to crash) even though he has a "winning hand" because of the pain that will be a byproduct of his "winning".

[Raschel]

16. I think we will default. These tea party freshmen are totally clueless, uneducated.
