Several commentators and journalists including Time’s Mark Halperin are cautioning speculation on any debt ceiling limit deal. The reason: there is still a good chance GOPers could reject any deal Republican leaders and Barack Obama produce. Remember that some Republicans a)don’t want even a shred of compromise b)don’t think it’d be a big deal if there is a default.
It ain’t over till it’s over..
And it ain’t over.
