"50 Senators publicly open to using reconciliation"

By GottaLaff

Shannyn Moore was on the phone with Mark Begich earlier today. I decided to toddle over to her blog site to see why she tweeted "WOW!" Lo and behold:

OPEN LEFT is reporting Senator Begich as the 50th confirmed vote for reconciliation for health reform. He has just landed in Anchorage and I am trying to confirm with him. [...]

Go to Shannyn's site to see a letter Begich wrote to a constituent.

That makes 50 Senators publicly open to using reconciliation to finish health reform without any maybes. There will be a reconciliation fix to the Senate health bill, as long as the House first passes one.

Oh House? Your turn!
