Typically thorough analysis. The man is very, very smart.

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

This guy is into predictions obviously; 75% here, 90/10 there. God only knows. But my prediction is this. There are so many deals and so much baggage with this bill if they start picking away with reconciliation and amendments etc. etc., this thing could fall apart very easily. It's a mishmash of crap held together by bubblegum and special interest. A defeat for a Democrat in ultra-uber-arch-liberal Mass. is just the thing to scare the hell out of Dem Senators in red states (and blue too). Keep your eye on Blanche Lincoln.
Hammer - Excellent picture.
