7. Listen To What Snowe Said...
Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 02:54 PM by KharmaTrain
She may not vote for final passage, but that's still a ways down the road. The one thing she didn't say was that she'd vote against cloture that would get Public Option one step closer to reality by lowering the Senate threshold to 51 votes. Yep, she may not vote for the final bill or parts of it (as it will be done in several chunks) but if she voted to move ahead today, she may also vote to prevent a fillibuster and lead to a final bill become reality.

Pruneface needs to talk tough...he's losing his grip on this caucus. Her vote this morning was a major loss for their side as it means they've broken ranks.
