Fresh off his Daily Show appearance, Vice President Joe Biden is on Capitol Hill this morning to speak privately with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid about health care.
As we reported earlier, Biden agreed it's "baffling" that Democrats need 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate.
The health care plan is far from a sure thing in the Senate, and a first test procedural vote is expected to get debate started either Friday or Saturday.
Biden and Reid are huddling this morning, hours before Reid is expected to reveal the chamber's bill and Congressional Budget Office score to his caucus members tonight. Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, a former senator from Colorado, also are reportedly attending.

Somewhat off topic, but why has there been no mention on TPM about that AP poll released last night showing a large majority of the public wants the rich to pay for health care -- essentially backing the House's preferred method of paying for health care. Fankly if the public was asked if the rich should be taxed even more than the House plan and benefits made better I bet the public would be even more supportive.
