It’s a really impressive, informed and polite but impassioned group.

However, one big game I’m picking up from Specter’s comments that I think will be a key Democrat strategy is to strip out of the senate bill anything controversial that the house has already voted for. That way, worms like Specter will vote for it—knowing that the controversial measures will be put back in in the reconciliation process. They can claim they didn’t vote for such, but they knew full well it would be in the final bill anyway.

I am so proud of this mob, and sorry, I am surprised they are so well informed about the bill, I have been so cynical of the public after electing Obama, but this gives me faith in my fellow citizens.

Many felt that would be the case:

Pelosi would allow the Pubbies to load it up with amendments. Those amendments would be stripped in the Senate and Compromise versions.

Pubbies would be placated and the main bill would still get passed.
