Reid ups the pressure Ratcheting up the stakes in the wake of the GOP's successful blocking of a vote on Iraq withdrawal just moments ago, Harry Reid just announced on the Senate floor that he won't allow a vote on the entire Defense Authorization bill until the Senate GOP drops its filibustering of votes on Iraq. The move is significant because it could hold up the funding of the Pentagon's fiscal 2008 priorities until the standoff is resolved. It comes only moments after the Republican filibuster succeeded in preventing a vote on the Reed-Levin amendment, which would have mandated withdrawal by April 2008. electioncentral.tpmcafe.com
