Predictions on Boxer and the Kerry-Boxer Bill

The Washington Post is reporting this morning that, to hedge her bets against Blue Dog Democrats who might sink the climate bill when it emerges from committee, Boxer made concessions on nuclear power in the Kerry-Boxer bill, here. The move, the article says, is meant to attract possible votes from moderate Republicans. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal confirms, here, that indeed, the Republicans are planning on boycotting tomorrow's Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Meeting, to try and keep Kerry-Boxer from emerging from committee at all. And, as Politico reports here, Boxer has a plan up her sleeve to push the bill out of committee, anyway.
