The Reconciliation Vote

[Cerise]

"Reconciliation"

In another surprising step forward for the public option, Senator Harry Reid’s office says that if a final decision is made to pass health reform via reconciliation, the Majority Leader would support holding a reconciliation vote on the public option.

In addition, Senate leadership aides say they’re uncertain whether the Senate parliamentarian will sign off on the possibility of passing the public option via reconciliation in the first place. And finally, aides want assurances from the White House that it will use its clout to help round up Senate support for the public option, should it come to a vote.

But still, for the first time, the Majority Leader’s office has now said that a reconciliation vote on the public option is a real possibilty.

The dems literally have no understanding when the people say: "no, thankyou."

Sure they do. They understand they're gonna take a whoopin' this fall. They also understand that once pased. it'll be damn near impossible to retract before enforcement. They also understand that the third rail can be built upon but may not be reduced.

Great politics. Poor representation.
