Not Got the Votes?

Written by David Frum on Wednesday July 27, 2011

Talking Points Memo summarizes the major internal opponents John Boehner faces as he tries and fails to whip the votes for his plan to raise the debt ceiling.

It's the Chamber of Commerce v. Freedom Works. Also Sen. Lindsey Graham v. Rep. Allen West - although in the Graham-West case, each is on the opposite side to that which you'd expect. There's not much to laugh about this week, but politics does remain a funny business.
