Republican Susan Collins still holding Strong against Bill, Snowe also leaning "No"

All 40 Senate Republicans could unite against Legislation

Late breaking word that Maine Senator Susan Collins is leaning against voting for Harry Reid's Health Care package. She had given mixed signals earlier in the day at a press availability in the Capitol Rotunda. This despite her colleague and friend Sen. Joe Lieberman of CT changing course, and indicating that he now leans "yes."

From the Washington Post "Prospects for GOP support for Health Care bill declining":

"I don't see voting for the current bill that is on the floor even with the improvements that have been made," Collins told reporters.

The Hill quoted Sen. Olympia Snowe on Monday:

"Yes, I do have misgivings because I understand that there are a lot of unintended consequences," Snowe said Tuesday. "We haven’t had this bill laid down in its entirety so it makes it difficult, I think, to make a decision on a bill in such a short timeframe."

But Maine's Senior Senator has not given any indication on her vote, since yesterday's emergency session at the White House.

Of note Democrat Senator Ben Nelson is also still a hold-out.
