Yesterday, in an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) pushed back at critics who say he has enjoyed the spotlight he has received for being one of the longest hold-outs on health care reform. ‘I don’t think that’s accurate at all,’ Nelson said, adding that he did not ‘create the opportunity to be the 60th vote.’
Nelson, whose decision to support the Senate bill late Friday evening cleared the way for passing the legislation, remarked that it was not “fun” to “have both sides of an issue mad at you.”
