Mark Steyn, another terrible day. We’re now down to about 20% in a week, which is getting to rival the big day in 1987.

There are so many elements here and we are once again learning that conventional wisdom is BS. Let's start with one thing, and that is all last week we heard, "The Democrats can pass this if they want to, why wait for the Republicans?" Obviously that wasn't true. There's another thing that's a factor in this House vote today. It has failed. However, they suspended the vote, and Nancy Pelosi, she needs to get 11 Democrats to change their minds.

I appreciate the leadership shown by Members on both sides of the aisle, who came together to write a very good bill.

McCain, about a half an hour ago, said, (paraphrasing) "Okay I'm going to go down to Oxford, I'm going to do the debate, and I'll come back here to Washington, DC, to continue to work on this over the weekend."
