by Chris Good:

How likely is it that any Democratic senator or senators will heed Howard Dean's advice and vote against the Senate health care bill?

1. They should get atleast a few to vote against it.

3. They'd be smart if they threatened to kill it - look at the evidence so far
Lieberman has been holding a one man temper tantrum about the bill - they did everything he wanted. White House even told Reid to give him whatever he asked for.

Landrieu made noises about filibustering the bill - she got bought off with a HUGE pile of pork.

If I were a Democratic senator I would hold out for whatever I could get in order to squeeze some project or concession out of the administration.

4. Any REAL Democrat should vote against it.
DINOs won't, obviously.
