Responding to comments by Sens. Olympia Snowe and Joe Lieberman that they may join a filibuster against health care reform, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today there’s still a long road ahead.

“This is a debate that is and will go on for quite some time. We’ve got a decent ways to go just in this round of it,” he said. “I hate to look two weeks down the road based on what somebody may or may not say today.”

“What’s changed is we’ve never gotten to this point before in debating health care reform,” Gibbs added.

He also said he expects to “continue to see progress being made.”
