The first in our stand-alone series, to be abbreviated as WWTAA.
Craig Becker vs. Scott Brown, with the NLRB in the balance. Who wants it more?
A reminder that Scotty B isn’t so much the 41st vote at this point as the 43rd. So long as Republicans vote as a bloc to filibuster, Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson have no reason not to join in.
…
15 senators skipped the vote as a fait accompli once Brown, Lincoln, and Nelson made their feelings known. This is a blow to Card Check, but don’t celebrate too much: Obama’s now grumbling about recess appointments, which is likely in this case given that Becker’s a union tool and The One’s pals in big labor have been warning him lately about their unhappiness over ObamaCare.
Fifteen senators skipped the vote, and Obama’s just going to stick him in there anyway… so what was that all about?
Stay tuned for the next episode of WWTAA when Obama summons Republicans to debate his rigor-mortised socialized medicine plan. Obama’s not changing a page (out of 2,700), on the grounds that it’s already been passed (which didn’t stop him, Nancy, and Harry from cutting it into paper dolls and snowflakes), and the Republicans have already voted against it… so, what will be the point exactly, when it would be lucky to get 55 votes in the Senate now?
Given all the empty promises, the reversals, the reenlisting of Bush policies, the economic ineffectiveness… other than a few trillion dollars blown, of his whole administration: WWTAA?
