Despite threats by Democratic leaders the House of Representatives was unable to gather enough votes to overturn President Bush's veto of the War Spending Bill. This means that Congress will have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new bill instead, in hopes of crafting one that the President will sign... or that the House can find enough votes in to overturn a Presidential veto. Democrats claim that they will accept no bill without a deadline for troop withdrawal.
I suspect we will find ourselves back here in a month or so, and Congress will find itself increasingly unpopular with the people. The White House is already at its low point in popularity, but Congress still has a way to go. And unyielding stubbornness could easily lead to a reversal of Democratic gains in 2008.
