The Score On Obamacare In The Senate

Ben Nelson's Stupak-like abortion amendment has been tabled, and the Snowe Queen's not going for the Medicare buy-in plan.

That currently leaves the potential "yeas" at 59 to beat that filibuster.

In other words, this really may all come down to Ben Nelson being serious or not about killing the bill over his amendment failing, as he promised he would if it wasn't in.

Oh, and the public option?  It's going to be scrapped in order to allow Medicare buy-in for people age 55-64. Only 20 plus years to go for me then.  I'm sure Medicare will still be around...
