As I indicated some time ago, it looks like the GOP House will again get its 98% wish after all.
Harry Reid is signaling that the Senate will strip out the Obamacare defunding from the GOP House's Continuing Resolution to keep the govt open - but will keep the CR at the low spending level preferred by the GOP House, locking in the sequester spending cuts to domestic and defense spending.
The tea party GOP House members will achieve their 98% victory again.
John Boehner wins again. [He knew he could never defund Obamacare; his real goal was to cut spending, which he will have done.]
Sigh
