So, what's next?
Rachel Maddow had Howard Dean on and he inexplicably decried the "circular firing squad" among Democrats, given that he was a big contributor to that behavior just weeks ago.
But he also said we should go to reconciliation, needing only 51 votes in the Senate, and just pass Medicare expansion, which won't cover everybody but could then be worked on to expand.
Hmmm, and we're back to where we started. Unless Pelosi thinks she's got the House votes to pass the Senate's bill, which Dean doesn't like and said so just, oh, weeks ago.
I feel oddly detached, more bewitched by the drama of this whole thing as it's played out over so many months.
