Stay tuned in …
Last night, on MSNBC’s Ed Show, we announced, “We can say with confidence that there would be at least 51 votes for the public option in the Senate if the House goes first” and then named names and revealed new information.
Ed Schultz called it “the best reporting I have seen anywhere on a head count of the public option.”

No, no, no.
I wish this was true, but it’s not. Sure, 51 senators signed a piece of paper. That means NOTHING.If it came to an actual vote, there’d be 36 affirmative supporters. This is Washington politics, as usual. They can tell their constituents they WOULD have voted for it, without having to actually DO it.
Reid, Pelosi, and Obama have the REAL head-count, which is why they wisely did not pursue the public option in the final bill.
They only have one shot at passing this thing.
