Best site for political analysis on the web.

I do like Nate Silver.

Did you see Nate's model for how behavior of various parties might or might not have affected the HCR outcome?

I've seen a couple of similar pieces over the last few months. What's in this bill is what has the greatest likelihood of passing - there was never a real chance for anything more, I think, or it would be in there.

Personally, if Kucinich doesn't vote for it, he's going to find himself in a special cell in hell after he dies, his only company Republicans named Dick.

I didn't watch Countdown, but it was supposedly announced that Kucinich would vote for the bill.

We were never going to get everything that was needed into that bill. Too many concerned parties working to poison the well. As with Medicare, the groundwork has been laid. Improvements can be made.

Assuming the bill passes. It's still an uphill battle.

I saw that, too. We'll see what he says this morning. If he votes for it, that's got to give a lot of cover for other progressives to vote for it as well.
