Push hard and push now! Mark Steyn recently floated the idea that Reid may have already been promised some future position if he pushes now and it costs him his seat. Look at how many ex-Clinton folks have made millions as "consultants" and "lobbyists." That’s what I’d expect too, Raoul. Push hard and push now!

Push the far Left agenda while they can. (But will Reid think of himself the same way, considering how popular he is back in Nevada these days?) Will any of the Blue Puppies have the guts to rebel, even going so far as threatening to join the GOP? I doubt it. They'll be good little apparatchiks and do as they are told, even when it means political suicide.

I would bring along some super glue for his desk chair as well, maybe a swirly for good measure.

Maybe Reid meant "no vote this year" meaning that they'll have a double secret meeting and do the nuclear option. If you and Mrs. Firefly go you have my sincere thanks. A trip to D.C. is out of the question for myself and the spouse. Fortunately our representative, Jim Jordan of Ohio's 4th District, is a very strong conservative. But stop by Sherrod Brown's office if you feel like it.

On Monday I heard the House would vote on and pass their bill on Friday and the Senate might employ the "nuclear" option and make Pelosi's cr*p sandwich law. But now I'm hearing Reid saying there may be no vote this year... The Mrs. and I were ready to go to D.C. tomorrow and lobby some Representatives, but we don't want to spend the money if this isn't, truly, a crucial week. What's going on?
