  According to NPR Delay has stated that he will hold the vote open until it passes. Which means more strong arm tactics and most likely more unethical practices.

  re: The big blogs

  I think part of that problem is that the enviroment is taking a back seat to the war and nuclear proliferation. Liberal blogs make occasional note of the Bush administration's enviromental policies but usually only one complaint/fault in a long list.
  We are living in "interesting times".
