Watched an interview with the Minority Leader in the Senate and the Energy Committee Chair (Democrat from North Dakota), and it sounded like a deal is still possible in the Senate to help the situation (though they are really arm-rasslin' to try to get some political advantage out of it).

Pelossi is sitting on any votes on this topic in the house, though.

My take is that the key will be the amount of pressure Pelossi's troops feel from back home.

I'm "squeezing" my personal reps in Washington hard as I can, but unfortunately, they are all 3 (1 rep and 2 senators) Republicans, so I'm singing to the choir.

Democrats with Dem. reps have the ability to make more of a difference in this particular case. Yell at the guys in Washington - ALL the House is up for re-election, and they are plenty nervous about losing their cushy jobs right now!
