That damn Senate

By Creature

Now that the Senate can't hide behind their super majority, using reconciliation to add the needed fixes to HCR should be viewed by wobbly senators as an opportunity, a golden opportunity to make this bill better (even a chance to get back the public option). Hell, it's a chance to poke Lieberman in the eye and prove to the American people that one person can't derail the will of the majority. The House is ready, but the Senate is missing in action.

The president needs to push for exactly this tonight. Unfortunately, I don't hold out hope for that. I see a piecemeal, watered-down healthcare bill in our future and that would be a crying shame.
