GOP Lawmakers Banking on Election

Republicans in Congress, buoyed by optimism about Mitt Romney's chance of winning the White House, are finding new incentives to put off striking deals on major legislative issues . . .

Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, said some Republicans were willing to see major fiscal decisions postponed until next year, because they are bullish about Mr. Romney winning and the GOP making gains in the Senate.

"Why not wait for the reinforcements?" asked Mr. Jordan.

"We think we are on a roll," said Rep. Steve LaTourette (R., Ohio).

"Where is the upside?" said Rep. Scott Garrett (R., N.J.), a senior member of the House Budget Committee. "You tie Romney's hands. If we get a good majority in the Senate and win the White House, we will be on a very strong platform to do the things we need to do."

3. the very thought someone would say

"we will be on a very strong platform to do the things we need to do" . Scares the hell out of me because I feel the
things they need to do will entail a lot of pain for the lower class, a whole lot of pain.
