6. Further, the "reconciliation" method only needs 51 Senate votes. |

..Or 50 plus Biden. IF the Democratic leaders in the Senate have the stomach for it, and IF Obama makes it very clear that he wants it, they can take the bill that comes out of the house and "reconcile" the details with the Senate. The details can include the PUBLIC OPTION! Actually, I wouldn't mind watching the Repubicans (intentional misspelling) filibuster for a while. Such fools they'd make of themselves
