Bayh, Lincoln say they will oppose reconciliation procedure to pass final bill
WASHINGTON - Two centrist senators Tuesday threw up a roadblock to salvaging President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, as Democrats agonized over whether to push forward or shift to idle until political resistance subsides.
Sens. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark. — both face re-election this year in Republican-leaning states — said they would oppose the strategy Democratic leaders are considering to reconcile the House and Senate bills and put comprehensive legislation on Obama's desk.
That approach involves using a special budget-related procedure to go around Republican opponents in the Senate, a calculated risk sure to inflame critics on the political right.

Those 2 have become aware of the seats they are holding belong to the PEOPLE thanks to the Mass. election. Thye elections are getting close folks.Those that were on the obmama bandwagon are starting to jump off. Dont forget it at the poles.
Sen. Bayh is under particular pressure-- the talk is that Mike Pence may run for Bayh's senate seat.
If he does, Bayh is toast.
as soon as the elections are over, if these characters are re-elected, they will be right back on the Obamacare wagon. Hope their constituents vote wisely!!!
