#1 The Democrats are still fantasizing that a shutdown would be like the last one, under Clinton, in which, with the help of the MSM, the public were fooled into thinking it was the Republicans fault.

However, Bill was the consummate con artist in selling his scheme. Bambi is not. Many people now cringe at the very sound of his voice. And even though the MSM would get all leg-twingy about it, most people would place the blame squarely where it belongs--on the guy waving the veto pen.

#2 But 'moose, a lot more people are dependent on the government now. A shutdown is an attack on THEM. Bambi doesn't have to be as slick as Willie.
Polls show that most people want spending reductions - but never a majority in any one (significant) place. So the pols do what works - keep on spending.

#3 Somebody remind the Pelosi Aide that she is no longer speaker of the house BECAUSE THEY LOST!

Lost means "THE PEOPLE SPOKE".

She is OUT!
