and Turtleman has abetted them in their efforts.
Many on the left were outraged at the deal made with Boehner, then the failure of Plan B reset the bargaining.
Many on the left are unhappy with the bill passed last night in the Senate, but much of what was in the earlier deal are now off the table.
With the in fighting in the House majority leadership, it now looks like they may effectively kill this deal, which would again reset the bargaining points with a new Congressional membership.
How hard will it be for the President to make the case that everyone's taxes went up and the general economy was stifled because of the incompetence of the Speaker and his party's leadership? Hanging every economic woe around the Republicans' necks will be a slam dunk. A continuous drumbeat about another do nothing Congress could be the lever needed to pry loose enough House seats to put Nancy P back in the Speaker's chair.
BTW, if Cantor replaces Boehner, the chances are even higher.
