Big Earmark News
I'm being told by my sources on Capitol Hill that Barack Obama has just signed up as a co-sponsor to Jim DeMint's one-year earmark moratorium amendment. This is great news, not necessarily because of Obama, but because it will force Clinton to sign up as well. And with her, I suspect that the two Democrats will bring several more of their colleagues with them. And that will force several Republican senators to vote for it as well.
If this thing passes, and it's becoming more and more likely, then the pressure will be overwhelming in the House to do the same. The question will then become whether or not Boehner and the GOP beat Pelosi and the Democrats to the punch.
