Since Lieberman’s vote is critical to the bill's prospects, the loss of the Connecticut Senators vote came as a blow to the Democrat caucus.

Lieberman said he would join Republicans in opposing health care legislation if it permits uninsured individuals as young to 55 to purchase Medicare coverage.
Senate Democrats who thought they had found a workable compromise on health care reform learned otherwise from independent Sen. Joe Lieberman over the weekend.
Lieberman expressed his opposition twice Sunday: first in an interview with CBS, and more strongly later, according to Democratic officials, in a private meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Senator Ben Nelson may also vote against the bill but for a different reason.
Lieberman’s vote is mostly to protect the private health care insurance industry. Many of these insurance companies have major offices in Connecticut.
If Nelson votes against the bill, it will be because he is thinking of his re-election in conservative Nebraska. If Nelson votes for ObamaCare, he will undoubtedly kiss is re-election chances goodbye.
