More--again:

Mr. Reid convened an early morning caucus Saturday to discuss the developments. Congressional aides said the Senate was likely headed to a vote Monday, possibly at 1 a.m., on a pivotal motion to close off debate on the health bill. The vote will be the first true test of whether Mr. Reid has all 58 Senate Democrats, as well as the two independents who sit with the majority, behind the White House-backed health initiative.
Liberals have expressed unease at Mr. Reid's frequent concessions to centrist senators such as Mr. Nelson.
Capping a week of growing complaints from liberal groups, MoveOn.org on Friday asked its five million members to sign a petition opposing the Senate bill. The group is frustrated that Democratic leaders stripped a public health-insurance plan.
But White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel pooh-poohed talk that some liberals might vote against the bill. The White House has made the calculation that the liberals will swallow the concessions because they have learned from past failures not to pass up the chance to create near-universal health insurance.
"There are no liberals left to get" in the Senate, Mr. Emanuel said in an interview.

Good ol' Rahm the Enforcer, fish stabber, hitman etc. They know to please Emanuel is to stay alive.

MoveOn and the unions (SEIU and others) are royally in a snit because it doesn't include the public option because they are promised tens of thousands of jobs by Obama (they bought his election so he owes them) in the health care industry.

I noticed that in this article that Rahm Emanuel got all "poo poo'd up"...
