What chances are that the GOP will try to schedule a vote on bailout bill on Friday

and delay it so that Obama and McCain have to stay in Washington? Could the Dems and Leader Reid stop such a thing or would we have to contend with Lieberman voting the the Repukes to keep the Senate in session (50-50 tie broken by Cheney). I'm just trying to think of what there next move may be to avoid the debate on Friday.

1. They don't have that power anymore, thank goodness.

They're the party out of power.

2. The pukes are the ones divided on it. The Dems, I think will have it

written so that they are either in full agreement or full opposition. It will not pass or fail because of Obama or mcPOW.

3. uhm...

All the action is happening in the House - we own the House - the republicans don't set the schedule there any more - we do.

5. When would the senate vote on it?
