Playing For Time

Pelosi is a cool customer:

"There's a recognition that there's a foundation in that bill that's important. So one way or another those areas of agreement that we have will have to be advanced, whether it's by passing the Senate bill with any changes that can be made, or just taking [pieces of it]," Pelosi said. "We have to get a bill passed -- we know that. That's a predicate that we all subscribe to."

That's not a surrender; it's a re-group.
