SENATE APPROVES RECONCILIATION PACKAGE, HOUSE UP NEXT.... Right on schedule for a change, the Senate completed its work on health care reform this afternoon, voting 56 to 43 to approve the pending reconciliation package. I'll post the roll call once it's up, but three Democrats -- Nebraska's Ben Nelson, Arkansas' Blanche Lincoln, and Arkansas' Bill Pryor -- voted with Republicans in the up-or-down vote. (Remember, the GOP couldn't filibuster the reconciliation measure.) As they did in December, senators voted one at a time, from their desks, as is often the case on historic pieces of legislation. Before the vote, the Senate held a moment of silence to honor Ted Kennedy. The measure now heads to the House for one final vote. More soon.
