They are trotting out everyone that could conceivably be construed as a moderate to keep their entire party from looking like dumbasses, which they do thanks to Graham and McCain, and the GOP can barely breathe from embarrassment.

President Obama is sitting back, letting them drop their balls one by one, because nobody with any sense thinks this is going anywhere. Even Republicans know it, but they are going forward with it because they were shocked that they lost. They are scrambling like buffoons to latch onto an issue that makes them look better.
It's actually pretty delicious, if you want my opinion .
