Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

This morning, the Senate will vote to end the GOP filibuster of the DISCLOSE Act. That's the bill to fix the Supreme Court's horrible decision on campaign finance. You know, the one that basically said corporations are people, too. Unclear if there will be enough votes to end the filibuster. Republicans love the idea of corporations pouring money into campaigns because Republicans think they'll be the beneficiaries. And, I have no doubt that's what Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Kennedy were hoping.

Later this morning, the President meets with the House and Senate leadership: Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, McConnell and Boehner. I"m sure it will be a very productive session where McConnell and Boehner will ask Obama how they can help fix some of the problems their party helped create. Right? Bipartisanship and all. Anyway, Obama is going to make some remarks after this meeting.

On the political front, that whack job Tom Tancredo, one of the biggest haters in the GOP, announced that he's running as a third party candidate for Governor in Colorado. That should ruin the GOP's chances of winning there.

Let's get started...
