I could be wrong ( I was in 1941) but I think both Grassley and Hatch are up for election in the next go-'round. That could explain their lack of support for the Administration. There isn't an elected politician in Washington that would take an unfavorabel position on a Bill if they thought it would cost them their seat. Democrat AND Republican.

I stand by my post. If the Democrats are REALLY serious about wanting to extend the healthcare program for poor children, they will agree to a compromise. If the continue to simply send Bush the same old Bill that he vetoed, it's politics.
