That the companies are set for a drawn-out saga - a likely revised bid could come as late as the end of January - is clear. What value Kraft may be prepared to place on Cadbury is less so. The British firm's shareholders are thought to want at least $13.4 a share; many analysts think they should hold out for more. But in the absence of a rival bidder, Kraft's proposal - which still offers a premium of 26% over Cadbury's share price prior to the company's initial approach in September - may start to look more appetizing.

"Five or 10 years from now, maybe, this bill will seem as a success, who knows?" says Charlie Cook, editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which tracks congressional races. "But I don't think it will give Democrats a lift next year." Perhaps. But most Democrats aren't eager to see what kind...
