We need to start preparing ourselves for triggers in the Senate bill. The caucus isn't going to hold.
"Not vote for cloture? I wouldn’t rule that possibility out — not at all," said Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who caucuses with the Democrats.Evan Bayh was even more specific:
"It’s not fair to ask people to facilitate the enactment of policies with which we ultimately disagree," said moderate Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.). "So the closer we get to the end of the process, the more, for me, the process and policy will be one and the same."http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2009/10/13/a-lack-of-party-discipline/Bayh is the key person here. He could bring Landrieu and Nelson with him and probably will.
