...concerned the GOP's platform of deregulation is what caused this problem, and it's a GOP President - however unpopular - who is demanding this fix. They view Boehner's stance with deep suspicion. If enough Republicans did not support the bill, why, they ask, did Republican Senator Bob Bennett and Representative Spencer Bachus, the top Republican on the House Banking Committee, stand at the press conference on Thursday announcing the agreement and voice their support? Why wait until a meeting at the White House to throw out a raft of alternative solutions that the Administration had already rejected, and which...

The ground seems particularly ripe for a plan that would provide universal coverage while relieving U.S. businesses of their suffocating health-insurance responsibilities and does it without socializing medicine.

But we've done it by acting as a broker, helping progressives connect better with middle America...
That sure sounds harmonious. But if Obama does capture the White House, there is no guarantee the Democrats' fragile unity will last very long. "Managing expectations will be the toughest thing," says Bennett. "If he wins, with large Democratic majorities in both houses, there will be a very strong feeling on the left that now is when they're going to get what they want: pull out of Iraq immediately, get universal health care immediately, find alternative energy sources immediately." As daunting as that sounds, it's a problem all Democrats would be happy to have...
