Pelosi: House Will Pass A Public Option
[Speaker Nancy] Pelosi said afterward that there's a good chance that Congress will have a bill on the President's desk by Christmas. But asked by TPMDC whether she believed that, if given the choice, Obama would ultimately choose to endorse a bipartisan bill over a bill with a public option, Pelosi demurred. "You'll have to ask him," she said, "but I'll tell you what will pass the House: a bill with a public option."
(Emphasis supplied.) Speaker Pelosi is telling everyone what the House is gonna do. Any Dem that wants to kill the public option will have to do it openly.
Speaking for me only
