    hold that thoughtDavid -
    First, thanks for your great coverage of the bill. It's been very helpful to me. But I'd hold your praise for Pelosi until the bill gets 60 votes in the Senate. That is what will determine whether this has been a serious attempt to make energy policy or a serious attempt to score political talking points for the upcoming campaign season. I honestly don't know how to count the votes. But I've heard serious grumbling from folks inside the system who support much of what Pelosi's including in the bill who suggest her handling of it could well ensure that they get no bill at all.
