I hate to say this, but I think the Reid and Schumer are about done with all the fooling around and that they’re going to go for the 51 vote nuclear option.

They'd have to do major, major restructuring of the bill to conform it for the budget reconciliation exception (wouldn't they?). Do they have time to do that? I don't see how.

Anyway, "The Won" won't let him do this now and spoil his SOTU. Maybe next year though.

I have no idea what’s in the bill to be able to answer you about what the reconstruction would entail. Nobody has read it.

It’s looking like The Once won’t be getting his Christmas present, but he has to have his prized legislation before the SOTU lie-fest.

What a mess. I wish they’d recess and go home. They’re ruining Christmas. I’m sure we would all like to relax and have time away from ugly politics that our threatening our very liberty.

That is exactly what I believe.

Reid may get something out of the Senate, but it will never pass the final vote in the House without an anti-abortion amendment and the public option.

I think Reid is just throwing the hot potato back to Pelosi and put the blame on her for it failing the final vote.
