Anyway, Drudge had a screaming headline suggesting that Rahm Emanuel was personally "Rahming" the climate change bill through, then linked to a very pedestrian report by Politico in which both sides agree it will pass and that everyone, including Al Gore, is on the phones today. SOP for big and even sometimes small legislation.
Normally, I would not link to Politico because they're really an embarrassment as their Appalachian Trail stenography showed, but this seems relatively harmless.
...Friday's vote on the measure is expected to be close, but multiple sources on both sides of the aisle say they're confident that the bill will pass — with some Republican votes — following a deal between House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman and Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson.
...The measure, which is likely to have a tough go in the Senate, is a linchpin of Obama's first-year agenda. A victory would give the White House momentum going into a vote on health care later this summer.
