BOSTON A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action.
One thing to consider are the Senators from red states up for election. Ben Nelson is in a lot of trouble in Nebraska and he may be looking for a life line. If the Dems pull their dirty trick lever, you could have a Ben Nelson step in a say I will not vote to end the fillibuster until Brown is seated. Ben has touted his ability to reach across aisles and form compromises, if he wants to save his skin in the 2010 election, he needs to stand up against the Dems and be seen as doing the right thing.
