Hard to see a win here for the GOP. The MSM will ignore them and they will soon get tired of talking to themselves in an empty Capitol. If Bush and the GOP Congressional people coordinated on tactics they might get somewhere. But I am not sure if they actually know each other. Pelosi is clever. If they irritate her too much she will somehow get the building locked and the utilities turned off. Obama may weaken her hand if he decides to demand oil drilling. Who knows what he will do from day-to-day. When the Olympics start, followed by a hurricane or two, and the conventions, no one will notice the GOP holdouts in D.C.
