General Discussion

He's a solid dependable Democrat. He's just been on my reality alert the past couple days. On Sunday he criticized the Caving 8 (for lack of a better term) saying he thought there was "a real shot" at getting a continuing resolution passed to end the shutdown. My first question was when. My second question was who else thought that a deal was possible. Republicans knew their future political fortunes were cooked after this month's elections. They also knew the C8 weren't on board with the shutdown and thus would probably eventually give in.

But like most people with a big mouth (or typing fingers) I really don't know.
