POLITICS - In the GOP Bunkers

"Financial reform conversion diversion" by Bob Franken, The Hill 04/21/10

Excerpt

There could be several reasons the Republicans are cooling their jets and peeking out from their bunkers, where they had dug in for another fight to the death against anything Obama. It's possible they decided this time to play along because it was good for the nation. Theoretically possible.

More likely, they probably realize that an overt battle against financial reform could contribute to their deaths, that they'd end up fighting for their political lives this time, not the president and his Democratic buddies.

GOP please, please, go ahead and fight the battle. Obama (and America) can always use another win.
