OK. Our backs are against the wall. The progressive preference (and that of over 75% of the American people) is to extend the Bush tax cuts for income under $250,000 permently and let the additional tax cuts for those over $250,000 expire. But do to either the Weeble White House's inability to fight or as Nate silver writes the Dem's "not very strong" position, we have three outcomes to expect:

There are essentially three possible outcomes in the debate: first, that the tax cuts are extended for everyone; second, that they are extended for no one; and third, that they are extended only below some threshold, most likely $250,000 for couples (although alternatives like $500,000 and $1 million have been proposed).

But as a wise Jedi once said: "There is another"

See you after the jump.

Chris Matthews of MSNBC"s Hardball has come up with a new and interesting meme during the Ted Kennedy memorial coverage.

He says he is now convinced that Universal Coverage will happen, but he doesn't know when. But he twice stated during discussions that if the Public option is sunk, he wants the private insurers to be regulated into a public utility status.

Obama seems to be benefiting from the economic news, so its time to point out that the Democratic candidate is black, in case anyone forgot.And as an added bonus, the Democrats who support them are painted as bigots who hide their racism behind the "D" label.
