"Senate Health Bill Up for First Crucial Vote"


"WASHINGTON - A crucial first Senate vote on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in a rare Saturday night session looms as a test of Democratic unity and the president's prestige."

"The two holdouts are Sens. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. A third centrist, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, announced Friday that he'd be supporting his party on the test vote, while cautioning that it didn't mean he'd be with them on the final vote."

I am sure that Reid is doing whatever he can to get these senators onside whether it be money or arm twisting. The Democrats cannot afford to lose this vote and much of their credibility given that they have hung it on the bill.
