My Take on Personal Protection Act Veto Override

My prediction of today's events is based on experience, gut instinct and murmurs that I heard this morning in Madison.

There is a remote possibility two things could happen that would lead to a veto override.

1) Doyle will not extend too much political capital on this, figuring he can keep gunners and talk radio at bay on this issue at least, meanwhile he focuses on other problems.

or,

2) The Dems who voted for the PPA hold firm, figuring Doyle is too weak to help them the way he helped Sherman two years ago.

However, my gut tells me it's more likely that the veto will be sustained, including the probability that all of the Dems vote in lock step to sustain veto. Such a move would dilute thepunitivee firepower of PPA advocates, which would then have to focus their attention on 6 Democrats who would have to flip flop, as opposed to one or two.

I hope I am wrong.

Expect a long day.
