GOP Blocks Debate on Financial Bill for Third Time

As promised, Harry Reid tried for the third time in as many days to bring the bill to the floor, only to run into unified GOP opposition. He said earlier in the day that negotiations on a bipartisan compromise "were going nowhere" and threatened endless procedural votes to try to paint Republicans as defenders of Wall Street, reports Politico.
