Look at it this way:
(1) Antis get a last-second extension (no matter HOW). Bush, to keep his word, must sign it. Dems campaign on how they "saved the country". Maybe win NOV 2.
(2) AWB dies. Bush now responsible for every two-bit hood-with-a-gun; for every incident of gun fire anywhere. Dems campaig on how "unsafe" the country is. Maybe win NOV 2.
Sounds like a plan. And THAT could be why we see this flurry of belated activity.
Let's work to kill it... and hope no "incident" occurs.
