#1 What an opportunity to give sole ownership of these bills to the Democrats, should they manage to force this through. Nail this one home -- starting with the Stimulus bill, the Republicans have been completely excluded from any negotiations to address the concerns of the 48% of Americans who did not vote for the Democratic version of hope and change. That the Democrats, led by President Obama, are even considering this tactic for issues that really need to be worked through by all involved, should be trumpeted in triple forte.

#5 The trunks never have the cajones to do to the donks what is done to them. They have less discipline, are more craven, and are more easily maligned by the MSM.

#6 The maneuver may carry a steep political cost because it is likely to poison relations with Senate Republicans

Washington, the town of mis-speak, double-talk, mis-direction, and downright deception all aimed at the American voter. "Reconciliation"-another example of nothing resembling reconciliation.
