Reports that they are saying Obama is putting the heat on for all Senate Dems to support the Public Option. Says they are considering supporting it and at least siding on the procedural (cloture) vote.

Big Ed Credits Nancy Pelosi and YOU. The People. The activists who have been pressuring Congress and the President for a Public Option.

Specter is on now declaring his support and says they will have the votes needed for cloture even if all Dems won't vote for the final bill, but there will be enough to pass.
