All I have to say is thank god for Scott Brown, he made Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, and that slime ball Lieberman completely irrelevant.
Since the 60 vote has become unattainable, Sen Dems have advanced the idea of pushing through the public option through reconciliation which requires a simple majority of 51 or 50 plus Biden. Now Reid has spoken up and said he is open to it too!
Once dead now hinted to come back to life.
The 4 dems who restarted the push:
