PREDICTION #1:
SENATOR BEN NELSON (D - NEBRASKA) WILL SAY HE'S VOTING "NO" BECAUSE THE JOINT-VERSION IS UNACCEPTABLE - GIVING HIM AN OUT, BUT THE REAL REASON WILL BE THAT IT'S SO HIGHLY UNPOPULAR THAT IT'S DRIVEN HIS POLL NUMBERS WAY WAY DOWN.
PREDICTION #2:
THE STOCK MARKET AND DOLLAR WILL BOTH GO UP AS A RESULT - THE FIRST TIME THEY BOTH RISE ON THE SAME DAY IN 2010.
Its too late for Nelson. He did his dirty deeds and trying to weazel his way out is going to be a lot harder then just voting against the bill. Nelson is already trying to persuade the South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, the leader of a group of 13 Republican state attorneys general who are threatening to file suit against the Senate health care bill, and urged him to forgo any legal action.

Nelson should do what Jusdas did after he realized his betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. He hanged himself.
