they re acting as though it s today. is there any news in the last 50 or so minutes since we last spoke? reporter: since we last spoke, that impromptu meeting you and i were talking about between a bipartisan group of members of the super committee, that has broken p up. as members were leaving, senator max baucuss, facing a mass of reporters, the only way to describe it, he actually mentioned that there s possibly a new tax idea being floated possibly by senator john kerry. as you and i talked, this meeting was described by one aide earlier as kind of a hail mary pass to see if they could pull anything off in this 11th hour. unclear what the details are of this tax idea, but i will tell you that it does seem that it possibly could be a long shot as one gop leadership aide has already speaking to my colleague deidre walsh on this tax idea said, at the 11th hour senator kerry offered a new gimmick, in this person s word, to get to the democrats same trillion dollar ta ....
