The Washington Monthly has an interesting post today on the GOP's dilemma regarding Barack's HRC summit. As of now, only one GOPer has said he'll attend. The rest are dragging their heels. As the Washington Monthly describes it, they're in a real bind: if they go, they'll look bad because their proposals are empty; if they don't go, they'll look bad because they will have turned away an olive branch (which they demanded).
I agree with the Washington Monthly that it might be better for us if they don't go. It would be very hard for the media to depict that as anything other than the GOP refusing to participate in the process. Maybe such a blatant snub would tick off Dems enough to get them moving.
