Four MORE Senators Ask Reid to Use Reconciliation....

Edited on Wed Feb-17-10 11:40 AM by Clio the Leo

Update (2/17): According to Greg Sargent, four more Democrats have signed onto this letter.

Now four more Dem Senators have added their names to the list, their spokespeople tell me, doubling the number of signatories to eight and perhaps upping the volume of the public option�s pulse ever so slightly.

The new signatories: Al Franken, Pat Leahy, John Kerry, and Sheldon Whitehouse.

4. You're assuming that with 50 Senators signed on,

that Reid would actually do it.

7. Agreed.

I just think that even with the full support of 59 Senators, Reid won't have the backbone to do this.
