Public option dems can vote no and allow the bill to pass without them substituted by her vote which she will consider a victory in compromise because the public option was avoided.

Snow cannot abandon them for the other side if their own do not support it. sorry to follow you yet again John,but I have to tell you that I think one vote will be all that Republicans need to find courage to oppose the bill 100%.

I am not convinced that he has the political clout to stand alone on this in the Senate, but one vote may give him just that power. The more likely scenario is that there will be 4-5 senators who find themselves in his position blocking a plan democrats would have dreamed for ten years ago. How far we have come in just a decade.
