The status quo was preserved. We're playing defense. That's all we can ask for.
Yippee!

Yep. I can live with the compromise.
There has been a lot of teeth gnashing on the left over this deal but the alternative was too much to bear. I think that they did the right thing.
Today, as I've said elsewhere, 7 Republican Senators chose their country over their party. Good for them.
Let's also state the reverse, seven Democratic Senators chose their country over their party. Good for them. Seems to be a lot of 'red' state Senators signing on here.
Some other people chosing their country over their party:
"The candidate is Otto Banks, a 33-year-old African-American and the biggest vote-getter in Harrisburg, a predominantly black and overwhelmingly Democratic city where a Republican hasn't been elected to the city council in nearly 20 years.
Like everyone else on the all-black city council, Mr. Banks was a Democrat -- that is, until this March when he announced he had become disenchanted and was joining the Republicans."

Good news always travels in threes.
I don't see anybody claiming this is a great victory for Bill Frist.
Maybe he will console himself by dissecting another cat.
