by conventional means-- thanks to Lieberman. They will need to use reconciliation. But they also need the regulations/subsidies from the current deficient bill. So, they need to pass part I to get part II (public option/medicare expansion). But they will need pressure from Dr Dean and like-minded individuals (for example, voters like us) to actually make the attempt to get part II later.
