Sen. Sanders might pose a problem to passage of ObamaCare

Independently of Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), the Senate Democrats have another problem with a New Englander who caucuces with them, Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Essentially a socialist, The Hill is reporting that Sanders won't vote "aye" on ObamaCare unless it includes a strong public option--which means government-run health care. In essence, Sanders has the same position of Rod Blagojevich appointee Roland Burris (D-IL).

Lieberman has repeatedly stated that he will not vote for health care legislation that includes a public option--and he will join Republicans in filibustering such a bill.
