Credit to Harry Reid, a person to whom I rarely give credit:
a public option (albeit with opt-out) will be in the final Senate bill. Schumer is
happy. Dodd is
happy. Rockerfeller is
happy. Gibbs says Obama is
happy. Josh Marshall is
happy. Durbin says
the progressive wing made it happen. And Max Baucus is
on-board. In fact,
Open Left's whip count suggests that Reid has sixty votes for cloture, with only Blanche Lincoln still publicly non-commital.
