So Boehner kept 100% of his caucus from voting for the House version of the Stimulus Package - zero repubs voted for it, despite the nice things some of them had to say about Obama's outreach across the aisle. Victory for repubs, loss to Dems? If so, it is only a Pyrrhic victory.
The Stimulus package will ultimately be enacted and will ultimately succeed. Dem challengers to the just-say-no-repubs will be able to say - look - he/she didn't want you to have these jobs and tax relief - they just wanted to score one against the popular President. And you want bipartisanship? We did too - but the repubs just wanted to keep using the old politics playbook.
