Even if Bayh is in a weakened condition, the GOP of Indiana would nominate some ultra right wing nut that would hand the election to Bayh.

I think there is a real possibility that the 2010 congressional elections will turn out similar to the 1994 congressional election. If that occurs, there will be some hope of undoing the untold damage that the most irresponsible and reckless Congress in the history of the U.S. has heaped on us over the past year. Unfortunately, it may be too late to save our economy. It looks like the dollar will completely plummet next year, stripping America of its wealth so that we can be handed up to the new world order government at a discounted price.

I seem to recall Bayh getting a big reduction on taxes against medical device manufacturers -- see, e.g., Cook & Biomet.

It seems a virtual certainty that this thing will become law now. It's time to start thinking about the ability to repeal it later.

Can that process start next year or is there a requirement that it stay in effect for some period of time before it can be reconsidered? Certainly it will depend upon one more election passing so that the current crop of loons can be thinned out. Maybe more, if it takes that long for voters to start seeing the mess they've been handed.

Will the healthcare system become so badly mangled, and so vigorously suckling government teat that it could never be pried off?

I for one do not see how Nebraska can be given their sweetheart deal no Medicare and all other states left without. Wouldn't that be some violation of Federal law, discriminating against citizens who are not residents of Nebraska?

And what will this do to the Nebraska economy if unemployed and disabled move there in droves an then start sucking up state handouts?

China is going to cut off BHO. I don't know where he thinks this money is coming from.

What a cheap date.

I would love to see polling of Bayh's numbers for next year's Senate race. He may be caught in the undertow of the coming GOP tsunami, just like his father was.

OK, so now Bayh joins Sen. Nelson of Nebraska trading millions upon millions of dollars in pork for their vote.

And we're going to do all this without a tax increase. Oh, sure.

Media is reporting that Christopher Dodd is claiming he put in the 100 million for a hospital in Connecticut.

I can only hope that Bayh will be held accountable for this vote.

Now we're not sure. Chris Dodd was claiming th...

Now we're not sure. Chris Dodd was claiming that $100M was for UConn.

That would be "the Chicago way", wouldn't it? Sounds like an excerpt straight out of Mayor Daley Sr's biography.

Senator Bayh is a strange cat. Email after email re his fiscal concerns. Goes agains the party grain while being considered for the Vice-Presidency. One of three Democrats voting against raising the debt ceiling. But, if he'll trade his health care vote for creation of a fiscal cuts commission, similar to the base closures- now that's more like it.
