Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) canceled a final procedural vote that would have cleared the way for final passage and announced that debate will continue at least through Monday. Meanwhile, Reid said the Senate will consider further amendments, while he scoured for at least one more vote to reach the 60 needed to break a Republican-led filibuster.

Americans are ready for a message of economic growth, but who will deliver it?
Someone said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste." Why are the Republicans wasting it?
If the Democrats are willing to bet the entire U.S. economy on a 1931 theory known as the Keynesian multiplier, surely Republicans can excavate and relearn the core idea handed down to them by Ronald Reagan. That idea was known as economic growth.
Freed to choose between these two competing ideas, I'm guessing many voters would go for growth. All that's needed is just one Republican who can explain this idea halfway as well as Ronald Reagan.
Arguably at no time in their lives have more Americans been this sharply focused on the economy. They think and talk about nothing else. The Republicans have been handed on a tarnished silver platter the chance to offer the American people an alternative vision of how their economy works -- and grows.
They should take political ownership of the 75% of the U.S. economy that the Democrats have abandoned -- the private economy.
One of Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” (the title of his famous book), was, “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” A lengthy report from Politico notes the extent to which the Left has developed a strategy to “personalize and polarize” Rush Limbaugh as the face of the Republican Party, American conservatism and, thus, the “enemy.”
According to Politico, the plot was hatched by Democrat political hack James Carville in October 2008. With Newt Gingrich gone, Tom DeLay gone, George W. Bush gone, Obama in the White House and Democrats in control of Congress, the Left was desperate to find someone to demonize and blame for its mistakes, when its policies (like the subprime mortgage meltdown) ultimately fail.

Democrats launched an 'apology' web page mocking Limbaugh.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democrats will continue Wednesday to portray Rush Limbaugh as the spokesman for the Republican Party by launching a Web page that mocks GOP leaders for apologizing to the radio host for criticizing or publicly disagreeing with him.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is hosting the page — www.imsorryrush.com – which allows visitors to create an apology to Limbaugh on behalf of Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Georgia; South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford; or Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
March 3 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Coast Guard suspended at sunset its search for two National Football League players and a third man lost in the Gulf of Mexico after their boat capsized nearly three days ago.
"That's insulting to the American people," McCain said on the Senate floor today as he blistered Obama for agreeing to sign the bill once it gets through the Senate.
McCain pointed out that Obama promised during their campaign to get rid of earmark spending as part of changing the culture of Washington. "So much for the promise of change," McCain sniffed, according to the Associated Press.
