Can't say for sure...

... but I think they always have to reconcile.

[ ] Very tepidly voting for Obama [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

Senate May Leave Town

By BDBlue on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 11:07am

forcing the House to either vote for this bill as is or risk taking the full brunt of blame if the economy collapses. Because the Senate won't be around for another vote. Now, the spin is that this would somehow pressure House Republicans, but I'm not sure about that. It seems to me that it leaves anyone in the House who is against the bill (including progressive Dems who hate the bill generally and the Blue Dogs who hate the unfunded tax cuts) on the hook if the bill doesn't pass and the economy tanks.

Leadership!
