The Left and Health Care Reform

The Washington Post: In the WP E.J. Dionne states how the Democratic Leadership on the Hill can do a end run around the result in Mass, the article states the following, " The House would pass a version of the reconciliation bill containing the various amendments and send it to the Senate. ". This is the nuclear option if used by Democrats, it only takes 51 votes to pass a reconciliation bill, the problem is will the moderate and conservative Democrats really want to commit political suicide for the sake of Harry Reid and Speaker Pelosi, think of the nightmare for the Obama White House, they will have to defend the Act for nine months and then the Republicans will have one simple message, repeal the Obama's Health Care Reform, every day the same message, while health care reform bankrupts the country. If your a Republican you have to hope that the Democrats are that brain dead, thus we have seen articles in Politico, New York Times, and now the Washington Post, is it a trial balloon or a real deal. Lets see how the story develops folks.
