Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana said shell vote to move ahead with the Senate health bill, but has three conditions before she agrees to vote yes on the final bill. Those conditions are important, because Ms. Landrieu is one of the Democratic swing votes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) needs to win final passage. Here they are:
1) More tax credits for small business to buy health insurance. The issue is a consistent theme for Ms. Landrieu, who is chairman of the Senate Small Business Committee. The bill already includes some credits at a cost of $27 billion over a decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
2) Measures to prevent sharp health premium increases between now and the time the bill goes into effect. Ms. Landrieu noted that several years would pass between passage of the bill and 2014, when many of its provisions take effect including the introduction of insurance exchanges where people could comparison-shop for plans.
3) A better and bipartisan solution to the question of a government-run, health-insurance plan sought by liberal Democrats. The current bill includes the public plan, with an option for states not to participate. But Ms. Landrieu indicated she preferred a proposal by Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe, under which the public plan would be triggered only if other steps didnt make coverage affordable.
Will she get what she wants? Mr. Reid can probably offer something on the first two conditions, but the third one is tougher because many Senate Democrats insist the public plan must be part of the bill from the start.

My.my,my how really, really whorish of you.
They will have been bought with our money. And we will have their ass at the polls.
I agree, all 60 should go, but most of those are in safe states where there is no chance of them being defeated. We need to concentrate on the races where our dollars and time will make a difference.
Dirty whore.
She is bought and paid for, her vote is in the bag. The rest of this is just circus acts to cash in on her five min of fame. She will do as she is told by the rest of the Democratic Socialists.

I don’t think she is up for re-election until 2014.
I think you may be right, which ones are up in 2010?
You are absolutely right. We need a list of the most vulnerable and we need to hammer them with calls telling them we will work against them in their next election.
Marie insists that her John don a condom before she turns her trick.
Settle for $5,000,000 ... CASH, Unmarked non sequential bills. As I’ll be looking for a job in ‘10.. I’d need the cash to get a new start.
These are the most vulnerable ones in 2010 that come to mind:
Reid, Specter, Lincoln, Bennet and Dodd.
She has already shown she is for sale. If she could be bought once , she can be bought again. Once you cross the line into prostitution there is no turning back.
Landrieu is a whore.
I.E. - everyone will have forgotten this vote.
$300 million bribe...
$1 a head whore...
Do the math...
Very true.
The Democrats have such a large majority in the Senate, they will allow 'moderates' to vote against the final version to protect their reelection.
The Bill will pass the Senate and our only hope is that it is killed in the House due to the abortion issue.
........... say like $200 mil this time oughta do it .
