Ben Nelson Is Lobbied By Someone Who Has Been There

If the changes in the health care bill are indeed enough to bring Joe Lieberman aboard, it looks as though we are back to the point where all eyes are on Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson as potentially the 60th vote to bring the bill over the finish line in the Senate. As you might imagine, Nelson is getting pressure from all sides. One of those calls, I have learned, came from someone who has the unique perspective of having been in this spot himself. And it perhaps adds a little perspective to the messy moment we are at in health care reform.
