re: #477 opnion

If the Republicans oppose Obama initiatives it will invigorate the Party.
The Democrats will call them obstructionists for the mid term elections, but by then Obama will not look so good.
The Republicans can look like heroes & recapture the Congress.

That’s the risk the Republicans are weighing. If they bet the stimulus plan fails, oppose it, and it does not, they are toast in 2010. If you are right, it’s the right plan.
