Liberal Senators Won't Vote for Bill Without Public Option

The most liberal of the Senate's members are threatening to withhold support for any health care bill without a public option (from Red State):
It is so important, it bears repeating:

“I’ll vote against any bill without a public option,” said Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill.

The quote is from ABC News, and right before the Burris-bomb, is this little ticking surprise for Reid:

“There are at least two Democrats who say they’ll vote against any bill that does not include a public option, and there may be many more.”

Perhaps Senator Lieberman’s courage is contagious.

I don't really believe that any Democrats will refuse to vote for a health care bill no matter what is or isn't in it. Harry Reid and Barack Obama would never allow that.

So they say. I think that when push comes to shove they will vote with the party. I really really hope that means they are voting on a robust public option. It's already seeing results in Ohio. http://cli.gs/z3AtaY/
