The democrats are in crisis mode. Fun.
Obama, Pelosi, Reid and company are all scheming for a way to shove one of their healthcare packages into law, no matter the outcome in tomorrow’s Massachusetts election.
If Republican Scott Brown defeats Democrat Martha Coakley in tomorrow’s special election to fill Teddy Kennedy’s seat, it would give the republican’s the ability to stop any further action on the bill in the Senate. Here’s the options the White House and dems are weighing.
- The White House will work with congressional negotiators, (read:democrats) and try to reconcile the House and Senate bills and pass a new version before Brown takes office. That’s not likely. Under Massachusetts law, should he win, he becomes a senator tomorrow at midnight.
- They’ll try get RINO Senator Olympia Snowe to cast the 60th Senate vote. Good luck with that.
- Or, they’ll go back to square one and pass a scaled down version using budget reconciliation. That only requires a simple majority of 51 Senate votes.
It’s anyone’s guess as to what they may do, but White House aides are scrambling to research all of the above options. Pelosi doesn’t want anything to do with the senate version, since it will immediately start taxing the fat and juicy healthcare plans of union members.
As of yesterday, Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 51-46 in a Public Policy Polling.
It’s going to be fun watching this unfold over next couple of days.
