Rachel Maddow is breaking news that she says is exclusive to her:
Earlier, Bayh released this statement:
"Senator Bayh will support moving forward to a health care debate on the Senate floor, where he will work hard to address his concerns and craft affordable legislation that reduces the deficit and lowers health care costs for Indiana families and small businesses."He'll allow it to come to the floor.
But... he says his position is not same as Lieberman's, and he would NOT filibuster health reform. He "can't think of a set of circumstances that he'd vote against cloture."
So, Lieberman stands alone. As Rachel calls him, "Joe Lonely".
Bayh's office calls this a "clarification". He does not want to be seen as an obstacle.
