Lessee, the Marriage amendment didn't go anywhere. The Death Tax bill didn't pass today. The Flag amendment probably won't pass either. Immigration Reform looks like it isn't going to pass both houses.

The Republicans will need something big in October to try to avoid a bloodbath at the polls. What'll they do? I'd look for a special announcement from the administration regarding troop levels in Iraq around October 30.

That's assuming the hurricane season is a mild one...

Cheers,
Scott.
