Big Tent Democrat is a bit more sanguine today

if he's happy, i'm happy...

I am extremely gratified that Senate Majority Leader Reid understands this and instead has announced a robust plan for response to a Presidential veto.

note to btd: if i hear or read the word "robust" ever again in my life, it will be too soon...

seriously, some good potential progress here...

U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced today that they are introducing legislation that will effectively end the current military mission in Iraq and begin the redeployment of U.S. forces. . . . The bill ends funding for the war, with three narrow exceptions, effective March 31, 2008.
