I thought I heard Reid say there are hundreds of amendments that they still have to sift through. Good God! Who knows what's in those!

Speaking of Ag Jobs, looks like Sen. Craig wants to stay:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A judge considering Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's request to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport sex sting said Wednesday he probably wouldn't rule in the case until late next week, well past Craig's self-imposed deadline to resign...

After the hearing, Craig's lead attorney Billy Martin declined to address whether Craig would resign. He said the senator planned a statement later Wednesday from Washington.

Thanks folks. Just got back from work and read this whole thread to see what happened today. This sure is stretching out... Not good for the nerves.

He may not want to leave but I think the GOP is being pretty tough on him and so are the citizens in Idaho, we all want him out.
He needs to go and get it over with! I'm telling you he can not stand to walk away from the ag's bill. Lou Dobbs is just getting ready to report on Craig!!
