So
who would I keep an eye on? Democrats who voted "no" from marginal
districts (not heavily McCain districts), especially those from
Northern districts. My short list: Adler (NJ-03), Baird (WA-03) (ret.),
Boccieri (OH-16), Gordon (TN-06) (ret.), Kosmas (FL-24), Kucinich
(OH-10), Massa (NY-29), McMahon (NY-13), Murphy (NY-20), Nye (VA-02),
and Tanner (TN-08) (ret.). If you see a few of these members sign on to
Obama's bill, then I think it really is ‘game on.’

That's Sean Trende's bottom line assessment from his RCP piece - Is It Really 'Game On' for Reconciliation?, and I can't dispute it.
I do have some problems with how he got there, like puzzlement over why Ben Nelson and Blanche
Lincoln voted for this bill in the first place? Also, I think anybody doing
analysis of what motivates the Democrat party leadership ought
recognize 1) - a hard core Marxist ideology, and 2) the obsequious
relationship with Moveon.org, Kos, and unions. The latter having served
notice that without a Healthcare victory, no money, no voter
manipulation, no nothing, save enmity. This really is a kamikaze
mission for Democrats, and the ship of state is the target. Whatever it
takes to stop them is fair play. Lock and Load.
