The House passed HR 1 Barack Obama’s Economic Stimulus bill the other day with NO GOP votes and 11 defections from his own party. The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate where debate begins on Monday.
In the meantime, Obama has schmoozed Congressional leaders with “WAGYU STEAK” in order to gain passage.
Exit question: Will GOP Senators roll over on the bill, unlike their House counterparts?
History has not been favorable for the GOP Senate Caucus to exert party discipline.

I’m afraid its going to pass. There’s too Senators walking around with missing backbones in Washington. And they don’t really need too many to make it pass. I don’t know the exact numbers, but I think 2-3 Republican defections should be enough.

Not one Republican signed it! That has to be a really bad news bill, because Republicans are known to have a taste for pork!
