As Senators Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut) made statements that they had deep reservations about the current health care reform bill, Charles Schumer (D-New York) boldly declared that “…at the end of the day the moderate, opt-out public option will prevail.” Mr. Schumer did admit that centrist Senators as well as progressive Senators would have to do some more give and take saying “We all know we're going to have to give a little; that's what happened in the vote Saturday night, that's what happened here.” Its important to note that Mr. Schumer is one of the most powerful Democratic Senators, he heads up the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which means he's the one who decides how to allocate funds come election time

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats made a forceful case on Saturday for legislation to revamp the nation’s health care system, condemning the practices of insurers and decrying the plight of the uninsured in a parade of floor speeches aimed at cementing party unity ahead of a first crucial vote. Senate Republicans, powerless to stop the bill from even coming to the floor for weeks of debate unless they could break the ranks of the robust Democrat majority, countered with an equally impassioned denunciation of the measure. They derided it as an ill-conceived, budget-busting expansion of government and a threat to the health and economic security of all Americans, especially the elderly.
