Do you think the "wouldn't vote for it" democrats would support a filibuster? Because if not, then only a simple majority is needed to pass the bill. They only need a supermajority to pass a cloture vote to terminate a filibuster. Is it just me, or is it about time for a Roberts Rules Reset?
I say, let those Dem holdouts twist in the wind come re-election time when the public option is working and they're in record holding out against it. And obviously, let the Repubs flounder like the minority they are.
