WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- A senior U.S. senator gave a gloomy prediction Sunday on prospects for a deal that would prevent the economy from plunging over the so-called fiscal cliff.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on CBS' "Face the Nation" he was pessimistic about the chances for an agreement and blamed the Democrats for believing -- wrongly, he argued -- their victory in the presidential election gave them added clout.
