Bravo Maria

Senator Cantwell,
on Finance Committee Baucus Bill:
"I wouldn't vote for a bill that doesn't have Medicare reform and the public option,"

I would say that what comes out of committee will still be only one of what?
(3 on the table)

Republicans* are now officially at the table. And if it gets out of committee they will be on the floor for an up or down fight, amendment or reconciliation. **

* ironically their only plan other than the 160 amendments in the House bills and weeks of fighting the public option, that is what they have to show for bipartisanship. A choice between an option or no option.

[Update 9-18-09: On Republicans at the table. (McClatchy - WonkRoom ]

** 9-18-09 back to the table.
