Dems need to be reminded of what party they are in!

And another from TPM on the status here...

Perhaps Senator Reid should also be called and reminded that the dems DO NOT NEED 51 votes to pass this reform. Just 50, since supposedly Biden can vote it in in case of a 50-50 draw. And Biden supposedly is behind this reform too, is he not?
