3. Coburn: (R)-OKla.

Coburn sees difficulty forcing changes to reconciliation bill
By Michael O'Brien - 03/23/10 08:08 AM ET

Republicans are unlikely to force major changes to the measure making final tweaks to healthcare legislation, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said Monday night.

Inhofe said the GOP would have a difficult time forcing changes to the healthcare reconciliation bill the Senate is expected to take up this week, despite others in the party professing confidence.

"No," Coburn said during an appearance on CNBC when asked if the GOP would be able to stop many elements of the reconciliation bill. "We'll put a few holes in it, but basically it's going to come through here because they've done a good job crafting it."

6. Isn't he lying?

I mean his mouth is moving....

What I mean to say is: the reconciliation bill has to remain EXACTLY as written does it not? Or else it would have to go back to the House?

So they won't "put a few holes in it".

4. It will be interesting to see if the ugliness seen in the House debate will carry over to the Senate
Have you ever sat in the Galleries of each body? It is amazing the difference. The C-span camera really doesn't capture two things, one how unruly the House is, and two, how quiet (and generally empty) the Senate is.

5. So, what's the plan?
Now that I have 2 Democratic Senators in PA, should I go elsewhere to "communicate my desires?"

By the way, it looks like McConnell's Botox is wearing a bit thin! Are his injections covered?
