Here's almost a definition of a successful compromise:
A slender 11 percent of those polled back all four of the deal's primary tax provisions: an across-the-board extension of Bush-era tax cuts, additional jobless benefits, a payroll tax holiday and a $5 million threshold for inheritance taxes. Just 38 percent support even two of the components.
But put all four items together, and 69 percent of all Americans support the package … In the poll, 69 percent of liberal Democrats support the agreement, which Obama has called a framework for legislation.
Are the Dems really dumb enough to vote against this?
