The TPM (Talking Point Memo) reports:

“A lot of the most pressing political questions about health care reform will soon be answered, and reformers and pols alike are grappling with the fact that Democrats now have enough votes to pass a public option without any Republican votes.

“Hopefully when push comes to shove, Democrats will support a strong public option, and do the right thing,” said Jacki Schechner of the reform campaign Health Care for America Now.

“We’re in a good spot right now,” added Schechner. “We’ll see where we are after tomorrow.”
