The Democratic caucus could lose its 60th seat next week - which would mean that the only way Health Care Reform passes is if the House votes for the bill exactly as the Senate passed it.Blue Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985462049944592594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25165353.post-19949799466572435182009-08-28T12:46:01.495-04:002009-08-28T12:46:01.495-04:00I like the notion, but...

And...<br /><br />That insufferably pompous prig Mitt Romney, I think, has the druthers on naming an "interim" senator. Which muddies the opportunity for a fall resolution to the health care reform charade.<br /><br />However, it only takes 51 senators to pass a budget bill and much of health care (especially public option, Medicare reform) could be put in budget bills to move them along with 51 Dem votes and to hell with the GOP.<br /><br />But, that still leves us with what to do about Bill.Shane Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521638324367767546noreply@blogger.com
