There Will Be Some Deal To Prevent A Government Shutdown.....

it might push things into Feb and beyond - but I believe the word is out that the government won't shutdown. Just look at the stock market today. Wall St. got the message.

If the Republicans want to pass a continuance again, there's nothing stopping them. They don't need votes from the Democrats to keep the government open, so long as they keep the bill clean.

If they want to add anything, then they need the Democrats. But if they just hit the "carry on" switch and go on with their posturing, they don't need any Dem vote.
