Another eye-opening analysis of the outlines of the Obamacare fiasco, this in the Wall Street Journal and authored by Douglas Holtz-Eakin.

Senator Snowe’s vote yesterday did not commit her to voting yes on cloture when the final bill emerges from Senator Reid’s office. In fact, it has put her in a much stronger position to do just that, and if Joe Lieberman stay in opposition and Snowe is disappointed by what Reid proposes, the bill is dead. If even one more Democrat –Nebraska’s Ben Nelson or Arkansas’ Blanche Lincoln– declares as Lieberman did that the bill is too badly broken and too destructive of Medicare and votes no on cloture, the game is over. If two or three of these senators huddle together and decide now is the time to turn the switch off, it could happen any day. A new “Gang of Four or Six or Eight” could emerge and completely take over the process and save Medicare and American medicine generally.

So keep focusing the message of implacable opposition to the Democratic senators below along with your firm commitment to fund and walk precincts for their opponent in 2010 or beyond if they voite for cloture. Call, write, e-mail and make personal visits if possible. Find your friends in their states and ask them to do so as well.

It is all about the cloture.
