Democrats are pushing for all Democrats to vote for cloture, staving off a filibuster of Obamacare.
Buoyed by news of a temporary replacement for the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Senate Democratic leaders are launching a renewed effort to get all 60 members of their caucus -- even those who might eventually vote against health care legislation -- to at least commit to blocking a Republican filibuster.
After that, the bill itself could win passage with only a simple majority.
Bluntly, Democrats don't give a shit if Americans don't want Obamacare. They're gonna ram it down your throats if you don't call your Democrat Senators now and tell them "no."
