3. Hopefully this bill can be drastically improved at reconciliation with Harry Reid.
However, I wouldn't hold my breath in anticipation given Harry Reid isn't much stronger than the republicans on health care.

5. We'll see..The big thing is to get something out of committee
We ARE talking about the Senate....Bills can morph in mysterious ways if leadership is so inclined. Lets hope this one morphs to the left of center.

4. If Democrats were united, Snowe's vote wouldn't mean diddly.
IMHO the catering to Snowe is absurd.
