For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: reconciliation could actually mean the death of DemCare.
Obama's reconciliation strategy assumes that the final bill crafted by him and his team can get a 218-vote majority in the House.
House liberals may be willing to accept anything after having seen oblivion, but how many moderate Democrats are willing to walk the plank again? Remember that original House bill only drew 220 votes.
In his effort to smash the Republicans once and for all, Obama may be done in by his fellow Democrats.
Will Obama opt for the politically unseemly reconciliation option? Can Pelosi keep her troops in line?
