actually , the Bill could be stopped in committee .
snowe is not voting for it in committee.
call Lincoln and Conrad since they are up for re-election.
then call the 8 key Dem - independent ones on cloture !
The Baucus bill will get out of committee. The Dems have a 13-10 edge in committee. Voting will be along party lines with the possible exception of Snowe voting for it. There is no way it will be stopped in the Finance Committee. I have been watching the hearings on C-SPAN.
It is a bit premature to make calls on cloture before the two bills in the Senate are reconciled and the resulting bill scored. We don't know what will be in the final Senate bill. Still, if it makes you happy, do it.
