this issue. I was confused as to why the Finance Committee was the lead in this until I thought that maybe the compromised and the conflict of interest Baucus thought he could control the Congressional discussion.

If anyone can sway the Senate, it is Senator Kennedy. He'll work both sides of the aisle tediously. He has waited decades for this very moment.
