Health Care Reform Is Dead

says Lawrence O'Donnell, who I used to call "my man" O'Donnell.
Howard Dean's reconciliation solution with a Medicare expansion Hail Mary can't get past the procedural cloture vote problem, which still needs 60 votes.
Not only do the Dems not have 60 any more, but it's not likely Lieberman or possibly even Nelson will go for it. Certainly no Republicans.
As for the House, Barney Frank just said it ain't gonna happen. Guess what, it looks like it's all up to Nancy and her boys. Oy!
