Harry Reid struggles with 60 votes in the US Senate

In the wake of the Senate's slim margins for health care debate (60 votes are needed to invoke cloture) Harry Reid is said to be casting about for potential Republican votes. The most likely place is Maine, where Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, who voted with the Democrats on the stimulus bill, are being sought as potential votes on health care reform.

Blanche Lincoln needs to just fall on her sword. Promise her a juicy appointment to some agency. She's dead meat in AK anyway.

And appointment might not be a bad idea, assuming it takes place after the vote and before her re-election.
