I don't think he will cave - if he thought he might, I don't think he would have publicly knifed the WH in the back, as he did on Sunday.  I have emailed his office several times, encouraging him to hang tough.  I believe there are still people that will stand on their principles.  I may end up eating crow, but I think he will prevail.  It's a financially irresponsible bill and simply a bill to get votes for Democrats by pandering to their base.  I don't know about his position on other things, but if he ran for President, for this alone, I would give him serious consideration.
