"Twenty-six Republicans signed a letter to Leader Reid pledging support for Ex-Im if he would give them another chance to vote for it."

"The Tea Party's kamikaze attacks on the Ex-Im Bank has driven an unwanted wedge between the Republican Party and the business community."

"It has been striking to watch an utter no-brainer of an issue like reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank suddenly become a matter of great controversy."

"I am feeling more and more confident that this mindlessly ideological effort to block the Ex-Im Bank has run its course and is about to run out of gas."
