From Brian Beutler on the Hill:

Sen. Jay Rockefeller didn’t offer much detail, but told reporters on Capitol Hill this afternoon there are new talks going on to negotiate a public option that’s amenable to both conservative Democrats and those who share his views on wanting a more robust public option.

“There’s sort of a new initiative on the public option, which is highly useful, without saying anything more about it,” said Rockefeller (D-WV).

“There’s going to be a group of people representing various points of view who are going to just closet themselves and try and resolve this so we can have something on the floor that can pass,” he said.
