"Are [Democrats] really prepared to close the government in order to stop drilling?" Gingrich asked. "Because I think the country will find that to be a suicidal strategy."That's from CNN.

Addendum: The Intrade probability of the lift on the oil drilling ban rose significantly with this, and as of 1:07 p.m. on 8/8/2008 is trading at 49 cents on the dollar. It stands to reason there is roughly a 50/50 shot of a government shut down.
