The White House says it hasn’t given up on getting Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican of Maine, to vote in favor of a health care overhaul.

“We’re still working hard on that,’’ Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s press secretary, told reporters Tuesday at his regular daily briefing, when asked why the White House hadn’t worked harder to secure Ms. Snowe’s vote.

Mr. Obama had a lengthy telephone conversation with Ms. Snowe on Friday, but Mr. Gibbs did not provide details.

25. If this is true, it makes me sick.

George W. Bush got everything he wanted as President even when the Democrats ran the Senate under Tom Daschle. Everything.

He didn't have 60 votes, he didn't even have a majority.

Russ Feingold summed it all up: President Obama got the health care bill he wanted all along. That means it wasn't the one he said he wanted.

Now they suck up to Snowe. Sickening.
