If Stupak doesn’t have the D votes to stop this a good number of Dems will have decided to reverse their positions completely to now vote for a bill that they said they would never vote for. Could happen, but it’s going to take some doing on the Administration’s part to get those votes.

Next, there will be a conference committee unless Nancy Pelosi completely caves and rooks the labor unions who hate the “cadillac plan” tax. There are massive differences in the bills.

Finally, the conference report can and will be fillibustered and they will need 60 votes to break it. There are still a lot of hurdles the Dems have to clear.

I wasn't sure about that.

If they final Bill comes back with the Public Option back in, can Liberman join with the GOP and filibuster it?
