But the victory could be short-lived. Even if House Republicans do not resort to the same defunding strategies, there is still a massive gap between the plans of both parties. What can be done to resolve those differences? Or are we left waiting yet again for an election to resolve these differences?
Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
