'Sparring with fellow Democrats'
I love it. … The question is not who to root for. The question is who to root against. The Legislature can easily break the sales-tax/ethics-bill standoff if it wanted. But it’s never really wanted reforms – and that's precisely what's becoming more and more apparent with each passing day. The governor will probably have to accept a compromise in the end. But it'll be fun to watch Dem legislators squirm until then.
Update -- Legislative leaders just blinked. I was hoping they'd squirm for a few more days.
