First Joe Lieberman says he won't vote for healthcare if it includes a government-run public option. So, they cull the public option out of the bill.
WASHINGTON – Independent Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman says he expects to support the Democrats' health care legislation as long as any government-run insurance plan stays out of the bill.Now, Roland Burris says he won't vote for the healthcare bill unless there is a government-run public option.
Senator Roland W. Burris, Democrat of Illinois, has vowed that he will not vote for a health care bill that does not include a government-run insurance plan, or public option.Hmmm. Harry's in a bind. A real bind. A 60 vote bind.
At the same time, the latest Rasmussen report poll shows that public support for the health care plan is dropping.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of U.S. voters now oppose the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition found - reached three times before - in six months of polling.I'd love to stay and chat with y'all, but I've got to go back to work.

Hannity said tonight that it will probably pass, not saying, but inferring that both Lieberman and Nelson are weakening, and will knuckle under.
Not to mention that Burris has virtually no honor you have to think that he has just seen an opportunity for leverage with Lieberman coming back in. Wonder what he will ask for/receive for his vote.
