"We just don't see how this can happen in 2010. The best we can do is to get an outline [of a bill] out and have a couple of hearings," said one lobbyist, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing talks. "This is a way for everyone to say, 'We are doing something, and we are committed to getting something through Congress after the election.' "

This is all I think we're gonna get this year ( etc. couple hearings and a bill outline) and maybe DREAM pass as a stand alone, just for them to say they got something done and not just talk...
