Betsy's Page thinks it's just a political ploy:
Reid got his announcement and one-day story in the media. The liberal bloggers are happy. But don't be so quick to assume that this was anything more than an appeasement of the left while Reid knows very well that he doesn't have the votes to pass what he's announcing that he'll introduce. In fact, if this plays out as expected, he'll introduce the public option and fail to get the votes and then he can tell the lefty bloggers that he tried, he really tried, but it was those darn moderates in his own caucus who blocked the public option. And he crosses his fingers that they don't realize how they've been played.
