...minority and with their President facing impeachment, have handed Republicans almost all the losses in the budget fight," says TIME congressional correspondent James Carney. "Republicans have chosen compromise rather than risk the fallout of another shutdown." Dick Gephardt got to talk about saving the children, the teachers and other warm political fuzzies -- he was in such a good mood he thanked Al Gore. Republicans, despite all those Congressional seats, were strangely talking about what they had managed to save...
