Going over the Cliff

[ordnance11]

Ted Cruz, the solon from Texas (boy, I feel sorry for you BA) has began a filibuster to prevent debate over the house bill. Which will end in 30 hours and then the saneate will debate it, strip the defund language from it and then send it back to the house. Where the Speaker now has to get a majority of the GOP to go for a clean bill. This is going to be interesting. Can he persuade enough Tea baggers to vote common sense over purity? If not, then he will have to go to the Democrats for cover. Would Pelosi give it to him? And what would be the cost to Boehmer for it? He's done that a couple fo times already and it may cost him the speakership, if not his seat in the next cycle.
