Arlen Specter Surprises

Have to admit, I didn't expect to hear this from Arlen Specter.

"I believe we ought to pass comprehensive health care reform and we ought to do it now and there is a way to do it," [Arlen] Specter said. "I provided the 60th vote. We passed it in the Senate. Let the House accept it, simultaneously with a bill to make certain changes through reconciliation and 50 votes. There will be no disagreement about taking away the giveaway to Nebraska and Louisiana and the other inappropriate measures but let's move ahead and let's move ahead now."

Guess the reform bill still isn't as dead as the media keeps saying it is. [Via Bob Cesca]
