The Bush Administration sends up "emergency" legislation. The Republican presidential candidate "suspends" his campaign to push for a bipartisan compromise. 2/3 of the Republican House members vote against it.
The Democratic Speaker and Presidential candidate favor the bill. 40% of the Democrats in the House vote against it.
In terms of bad, the Republicans should come off worse in this debate, but not by much.
I am reminded of one of my favorite Spellman quotes: "Pissing contests are no fun; both sides get wet."
