You heard it here first...

Last week, I wrote a longvalleypolitics.com posting and a published Daily Record letter advocating the use of the "nuclear option" to end the use of fillibusters in the U.S. Senate as a means of moving health care reform forward over GOP stall tactics.  I sent a note to Chuck Todd of NBC News who replied he didn't think the "nuclear option" was on the table for Democrats. Based on this article, it seems the idea may be catching steam with progressives who have shown a great deal of clout by getting the public option on the table.
