U.S.: Odds of Senate Dems getting 60 votes for health care: Improving
- Good news for Dems It appears that the party has close to the 60 votes needed to push the health care bill to a discussion in the chamber. Who knows if that’ll actually happen, but man, it’s fun to watch democracy in action.
- The lone holdouts Among Democrats, the main people holding back the bill are Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. Ben Nelson, the other wildcard, is favoring a discussion if not a vote. Source
