Via Steve Benen, Nelson is undecided:
The room erupted in applause when Specter reminded the group, "I came to this caucus to be your 60th vote." But soon after the speech, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) left the session early, telling reporters he remained undecided.
Folks think Nelson will just aim to add a Stupak Amendment. I disagree. Nelson will soon being intoning about the cost of the bill and the tax provisions. Expect the Medicaid expansion to suffer the brunt of Nelson's demands.
Speaking for me only
