Is the Senate vote on the Stimulus Package supposed to happen tomorrow?

Are they pushing for the vote on Friday so it can be done and all the gnashing of teeth can be over, finally?

(I missed Keith and Rachel tonight, though I did catch Pres. Obama's 'enough's enough' speech on a clip at HuffPo--I liked that a lot.)

1. Maybe.
It all depends on whether they can cut a deal tomorrow.

Theoretically, President Obama and Senate Democrats are going to move away from bipartisanship by a notch or two and start twisting arms - time to use a little bit of old fashioned political coercion to get those last few votes.
