Before McCain arrived in Washington, the Senate and the House
Democrats figured they could force the Paulson plan down the throats of
House Republicans. Afterwards, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid had no
choice but to deal with Boehner and the conservatives, and making
changes to the package to get their support. Also, Boehner announced
that McCain has begun making calls to get Republican votes for this
bill, which shouldn’t surprise too many who had listened to McCain over
the weekend.
Are House conservatives happy? Not really, but it looks like they
have done the best they can do to keep the long-term costs to taxpayers
as low as they can.
