Bad news for Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), some moderates in the Senate are opposing health care legislation that includes a "public option":

Democratic moderates who control the balance of power on health care legislation balked Tuesday at a government-run insurance option for millions of Americans, underscoring the enormity of the challenge confronting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid one day after he unveiled the plan as a consensus product.

Republican opposition stiffened, and party leaders announced they would attempt to strangle the bill before formal debate begins.

Despite the obvious obstacles, senior Democrats cast Reid's draft legislation as a turning point in the yearlong campaign to enact President Barack Obama's top domestic priority. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said there is now a "sense of inevitability, the sense that, yes, we're going to pass health care reform, and it's going to lower costs, provide better health insurance coverage ... and reform the health insurance market."

On his blog today, Jamie Dupree said Reid did not have the 60 votes necessary to move the legislation for a final vote, so you can expect more members to come out in opposition.
