Yes, Today. Snowe, Tomorrow?
According to the WSJ Health Blog, Senator Olympia Snowe of Washington State is making no promises as to whether she will continue to back the Senate Finance bill for health care reform.
Why does this matter? For any one who has been even following this train wreck / folly of the last few months to get health care reform passed by the United States Congress knows that where Madame Snowe goes the rest of the the Senate has tended to follow because for this Republican to back a largely liberal bill means something....just ask Fox News.
But she offers little real comfort or assurance that she will stick with her position for good, which means that the ups and downs of this debate of will or won't health care reform be passed is likely to continue a little bit longer.
So we'll all keep biting our nails and hoping...it could still be a bumpy ride to the finish line.
