Well today is Election Day here in the U.S., our annual opportunity to practice democracy (insert joke here about continuing to practice until we get it right). Here's hoping all those who are registered get out and vote, and that the process proceeds smoothly.

Of course, considering the source you might want to take it with a salt shaker's worth of salt. I can't find the story anywhere else - I tried though. Bob Corker, one of the key negotiators is my state senator and is one of the compromsers I mentioned that the majority of the Republican party faithful revile, so it may possibly come to pass. I heard basically the same thing on NPR earlier, so it seems they may be making progress. Of course last time Boehner and the President came to an agreement, he wasn't able to sell it to the House. Hopefully he'll have some better leverage over them this time. I would hope the RNC would be backing him and giving him the power he needs.
