I vote Jello:
From TPM today:

"It seems like things are moving even faster than one might have anticipated. The House Democrats have scheduled a caucus meeting for this afternoon. That's where they're either going to snap out of it, get their act together and move forward or decide that they're just going to give up and collapse into a bowl of jello.

"One point to note: so far the big freak-out/fainting couch statements from the House have come from the left, not the center-right of the Dem caucus. That may prove to be a very important pattern.

"But again, this is a classic case of mob panic in the House. It's all down to the president. He's the one who can steady these wobblies."

Oh, golly! A meeting!

Can anyone see the spineless folks in either the house or the senate growing some balls without some head pounding by the White House? The problem is that the White House just doesn't get it. Not yet. Just like Health Care, just like Mass election, when the truth finally hits them in the face, the White House will scramble around in fear, and try to fix things at the very end. But it will be too late. I just don't see this laid back, "let them come to me" president changing his style.
