robert costa of national review reported a little nugget that republicans alerted the white house and that they may demand that this be part of the negotiation a couple weeks ago. that to me seems like a bit of a stretch. it seems pretty clear that mcconnell and the senate leadership sort of opportunistically seized on a stray comment from barack obama in his interview on "meet the press" this morning that he had put this social security cut on the table and decided to seize on that and throw it into the negotiation. i think it's important though to just step back a bit and ask ourselves why a deal might not get done as it's looking now, and i think it's two reasons. one, if we go over the cliff, i think democrats actually think the politics favor them, that the public is likely to blame republicans and the negotiations gets easier from their perspective, and on the republican side, the reason they think might go over the cliff, the real deadline isn't january 1st but when the debt ceiling comes due in eight weeks or so, and so neither side really sees this january 1st deadline as tha
