So who are the ten Democratic senators who struck a tentative deal on health care tonight?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put the group together with five conservatives and five progressives.

They are:

On the progressive side:

Russ Feingold (WI)
Jay Rockefeller (WV)
Tom Harkin (IA)
Sherrod Brown (OH)
Chuck Schumer (NY)

On the conservative side:

Mark Pryor (AR)
Blanche Lincoln (AR)
Mary Landrieu (LA)
Ben Nelson (NE)
Tom Carper (DE)

As we’ve been writing, it’s a bit of a mystery what’s in the deal they are sending to the Congressional Budget Office for scoring.

Perhaps a tea leaf? The only senator to issue a statement following the meeting was Feingold, and he doesn’t sound happy.
