Right now it seems there are a lot of crazy Democrats.
Senator Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana, who supports a public plan but shepherded a health bill through the Finance Committee without it because he thought it could never win 60 votes, said he could not predict how senators might line up.
“I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know,” Mr. Baucus said when asked if he had changed his view of the public plan’s chances. “I just really don’t know.”

Among the Senate Democrats who have not committed to supporting the bill are Evan Bayh of Indiana, Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, both of Arkansas, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
Reid simply threw Olympia Snowe out the window of the bus, not just under the bus with his sudden announcement of adding the ¨public option¨.
This is just the Senate. Pelosi has her own hornets nest to deal with and it’s not likely she can get the House to pass any version presently on the table.
*** So why blame Lieberman??? Can’t you accept that Democrats are not supporting this ¨overhaul¨ in its present form?
