Romney Beats Paul By One Vote At The Event Less Diverse Than The Masters Golf Tournament

Almost with a similar feeling of last night's "Too Big Too Fail" banks vote , this one has a ways to go in order to be law. The lobbying challenges will get strong, and there virtually is no chance that this will get passed before years end unless the extraordinary happens. But it is a rare, VERY RARE,...
