One minor detail that’s omitted: Which proposals, precisely, do they have enough votes to pass? The public option? A “trigger” for the public option? Health-care co-ops? A mandate to buy coverage? The One might have lowered his demands to the point where only the barest bones reform plan is still on the table; assuming that they do have the votes, the fact that he wants something passed immediately only proves how fragile the coalition must be.
Allah also uncovers hints that Sen. Olympia Snowe, a McCain-style bipartisan RINO collaborator, may have discovered she has something of a GOP spine. Of course, if Kim du Toit had had his way, she would now be busily backing the Reid-Snowe-Franken Memorial Health Assurance Act of 2009. More likely, it would already have been passed and signed by President McCain. In the same spirit of bipartisanship that has been selling suckers like Kim down the river for decades.
