Barely five months into the Obama administration, how could this be the case? And how could the attempt fall apart in accelerated fashion -- much faster than the much-maligned, abortive Clinton effort of 1993 and '94?

The faster you drive a piece of junk, the faster it falls apart.

Especially if you drive in circles!

Let’s not get over confident. This battle is not over by any means. It’s good to hear that there is opposition developing among some Democrats in Congress. But this isn’t over yet.

I heard something about the “reconciliation” of the budget which would somehow bypass a Senate filibuster, and require exactly 51 Senate votes, instead of 60 to break a filibuster. Anybody know if that’s true, because if so, we’re in trouble with trying to stop this. Somehow healthcare “reform” would be tied in with the budget and just be enacted that way. I hope it’s not true because then we really have our work cut out for us to block this.
