Fifty favor reconciliation

Some excellent news today: with Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) declaring his support for budget reconciliation to make some small fixes (via a 'sidecar' bill) to the Senate health reform bill so that the House will pass it and the Senate will pass the changes with a simple majority, we've now reached 50 US Senators definitely supporting this maneuver. With one more Senator, we should be set to pass health reform at last. This is something that should have happened last year, but I'll take it now, if Senate Dems come through.
