The Ports Deal

I appear to be in the minority of people who still believe that the DPW ports deal is going to go through. Sure, they'll go through the charade of a forty five day review, but for what ever reason, Bush wants this deal to go through, so it will.

The reality is that at least four key republican Senators (Frist, McCain, Santorum, and Allen) are eyeing a run for the White House in 2008, and know that only one of them is going to gain access to the vast fund raising ability of the Bush machine, and none of them is willing to let a little thing like national security get in the way of that access.

They should be able to stop any legislation from getting through the Senate.

We'll see.
