There's hope!

There's still hope that Republicans won't wilfully and excitedly drive over the edge:

Senate Republican leaders today vowed to block consideration of Senator John Warner’s compromise resolution against a troop increase in Iraq unless their alternatives are offered up as well.

At a press conference this afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said all 49 Republican senators would stand together against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to try to put Mr. Warner’s resolution on the floor for debate on Monday.
