Te question is this: Are the Republicans stupid enough to let Pelosi use them for political gain again?
Even here in Australia the press is following the choirsheet - the bailout failed because the Republications rejected it. Never a mention of the facts that (a) the Democrats could have passed it alone if they wanted to and (b) that lots of Democrats voted against it too. Not one word.
Of course they are...They are too afraid of being seen as mean.
