Appearing on MSNBC a few moments ago, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) seemed quite pleased by the news that Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) would vote for the Senate Finance Committee health insurance reform bill.
“It’ll now be a 14-9 vote coming out of Finance Committee,” he said. “That’s a huge margin. Olympia makes it bipartisan. This is a first step in a long process, but it’s an extremely important first step.”
Nelson also had a prediction:
“Susan Collins now will likely come with her fellow Maine senator once they vote on the floor.”
