that 60 votes were needed to bring the bill to the floor for consideration.

He is a tool of the insurance companies, of course. He also opposes a public option.

She asked him about something Mike Enzi said--that he won't accept the deal from Finance (Baucus' Senate Finance Committee) unless he gets a commitment from the White House that this is the 'final deal.'

Lieberman: Ultimately he (Mike Enzi) and every Senator knows if they are worried about stuff being put in in a conference committee with the House, it takes 60 votes to take up a conference committee so everyone of us can block it, if there are some surprises in it that a lot of us don't like."
