"After Democratic sources told POLITICO that there are not the votes for a robust public option, party leaders have their rank-and-file behind closed doors in the Capitol basement and are going through every name to see where they stand on a Medicare plus-five public option, the so-called robust plan. It's a public whip, often used to shame the outliers into backing their preferred plan."

This sounds like what I want to hear from the Dems. They have the muscle, it's about time they start using it.

Americablog is okay, but http://www.fivethirtyeight.com is better - they analyze all kinds of politics, polls, and pols statistically and show their work. Good stuff.
