For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Porkulus might not clear Senate.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday the massive stimulus bill backed by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats could go down to defeat if it's not stripped of unnecessary spending and focused more on housing issues and tax cut.

Is this possible? Could Obama actually lose this battle? If so, why?

What are your thoughts on porkulus? Want it to pass or fail? Why?
