Poll question: Will 51 Senators keep their promise and add a public option amendment to reconciliation bill?

The health care reform bill isn't over yet, just the bulk of it that deals with private insurance.

http://whipcongress.com/">51 senators pledged to vote for an amendment adding a public option.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have been playing a pretty obvious game of keep away with the public option, tossing blame for who won't allow it back and forth and expecting us not to notice that at one time or another, both have claimed to be for it, but gosh darn it, the other chamber won't allow it.

They have one last chance to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/19/AR2009101902451.html">add some democracy to their health care reform--the health insurance industry got their say in the main bill.
