He does seem to be ****ing away all that "political capital", doesn't
he?


His threatened veto of the stem cell bill is going to offend those of his
supporters who actually have a brain.

Yeah, it seems cracks are showing in the GOP. Imagine 50 House
Republicans going against the Hammer and the Chump, I can hear the teeth
gnashing on the fundie right. With the votes going against him in the
Senate, it will be interesting to see how important a "up or down" vote
actually is to Frist. I'm betting he doesn't schedule a vote on the stem
cell bill. After all, "up or down" votes are only important on judicial
appointments.
