Negotiations (thanks Playbook) From a top Republican: “The deal is falling apart, as deals always do before they get done. The collapse will allow everyone to get to a small-scale deal that avoids the cliff and moves the more substantive negotiations to next Congress.” From a top Democratic: “This so-called ‘opening bid’ is a roundup of all the White House’s publicly held positions. Boehner’s office just decided to type up Geithner’s recitation of the White House’s long-held principles to Boehner, and leak it as an ‘offer.’ Um, whatever.”
