Despite the slim likelihood of 34 states' ratifying an amendment that aims to cut out state-bound pork, the veto concept is highly marketable. "It'll be a show campaign issue again -- just like it was for the Republicans in 1994," says Tumulty. "It's right up there with term limits." And it conveniently reappears just in time for the election season...
