Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) told Fox News that Republicans face a tough choice on President Obama’s jobs bill: “If we vote for this plan, we’ll own the economy with the president, and he desperately needs someone else to blame it on. If we vote against it, he’s going to try to say Congress blocked his ability to create jobs.”
Sounds about right. A new Gallup poll finds that 45% want their member of Congress to vote for the legislation and just 32% want their member to vote against it (23% didn’t know enough about it). And a recent CNN/Opinion Research poll shows a plurality liking the president’s jobs plan outline by a 43%-35% margin, but with 22% undecided.
And the Phillies are in the playoffs. Again
