Ruining the suspense of the health care vote on a motion to proceed tonight, Mary Landrieu just announced on the Senate floor that she would allow debate to go forward. She said that “Doing nothing is not an option. Nor is waiting any longer for this debate.”

This leaves just one unknown vote on the Democratic side – Arkansas’ Blanche Lincoln. At the same time that she is making her decision, a large free health care clinic is underway in Little Rock, with thousands of her constituents who cannot get care through the current system.

I don’t think Harry Reid would hold this vote if Lincoln was a no.
