Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) has announced that he will now vote FOR cloture, and FOR the senate healthcare reform bill. That makes him the 60th senator, pretty much assuring cloture and then passing the bill in the senate.

He held his principles, right up until they bought him off for more than they paid to get Louisiana's vote earlier.

Yep, principles that were all about the money.

Every one has a price. Reportedly it was $300 million.

I think it's closer to $500 million in pork spending. They also threatened to close military bases in his state if he didn't vote for it.

Gotta love politics.
