why is this in doubt? i thought it was pretty obvious they were going to stall until they could pass a budget and raise in the same motion, with some concessions from the dems. there's really no other endgame to this. the democrats' desire for a clean bill is an unrealistic hardline position. if boehner did anything else, of course he would be replaced, it's just a bad move.
