Taking it to the bank-ing committee

I'm not so sure that you would call them "unusual suspects", but there is talk of a handful of Republicans jumping ship when it comes down to a vote on financial reform. Minority leader, Sen. McConnell went around today securing all but one signatures; Sen. Collins of Maine, pledging to hold out against a banking bill. It's interesting to note that Sen. McCain originally pushed for a return of the Glass-Steagall Act, which the article notes is much more liberal than the current bill. With financial reform a largely bipartisan issue, it's likely the Democrats will get their way but we'll see if they offer any concessions to those Republicans on the fence.
