Sen. Max Baucus reports health care bill out of committee.

Sen. Mitch McConnel immediately grabs mike and opposes.

Must be a good bill.


Last count, Baucus has one vote for his bill.

Right now, with the Kennedy seat vacant, the Democrats can't break a
filibuster (they still need 60 votes and there are only 59 Democrats).
Interestingly, if another Democrat dies - leaving them with 58 - they'll
only need 58 votes to invoke cloture.

Pray for the continued breathing of Robert Byrd.
