Headline idea from Chris Faulkner on Twitter.

Via Politico

Hours after POLITICO posted results of a poll showing a possible backlash by Indiana Dems, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) backed off of previous statement saying he was considering siding with the GOP on a public option filibuster.

A spokesman emailed me the following statement just now:

“Senator Bayh will support moving forward to a health care debate on the Senate floor, where he will work hard to address his concerns and craft affordable legislation that reduces the deficit and lowers health care costs for Indiana families and small businesses.”

That comment apparently covers Bayh’s support of the first procedural hurdle — a 60-vote motion to proceed — but it’s unclear if the fiscally conservative Bayh is ruling out a filibuster of the final bill. I’m asking his office now.

Call Bayh’s office now, and tell him we really feel.
