In addition to the release of the Senate health care bill this evening ( Senate Democratic caucus meeting , 5 p.m. eastern, with CBO score), the buzz today is that Senate majority leader Harry Reid won't use reconciliation for health care reform. This would reduce the chances of passing a public option in the bill, given that Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu have to committed...

This is significant: Senate Democrats have abandoned plans to use a fast-track parliamentary strategy to avert a threatened Republican filibuster and pass a health care overhaul — a signal that they are considering major policy concessions to moderates. The most significant of these could be restructuring or dropping altogether a proposed government-run insurance plan — the so-called public...

If you don't live in Pennsylvania, you might not be keeping up with the indictments. By way of background, Tom Corbett is the current Attorney General of the state. He's squeaky clean, to the best of my knowledge. He's also running on the GOP side for governor. As prognostications go, I think he wins both the primary and the general. I'll get into that after the jump, but this is really about something...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- If the pro-life movement has any chance of stopping abortion funding in the Senate version of the health care bill, they need Democratic Sens.

Would someone who reached their carbon emissions limit be forbidden by the government from, say, buying more gas for their car?

It's my understanding that Sens. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Bob Casey (D-PA) are considering proposing an amendment to the Senate's healthcare reform bill that would resemble the disastrous anti-choice Stupak-Pitts Amendment that passed in the House bill. The strategy to defeat this middle class abortion ban must have several prongs. First, we must convince Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), an anti-choice...
