NEWS UPDATE & OPEN THREAD FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 23, 2009. By a 60-39 vote, US Senate Democrats blocked GOP filibuster plans and now advance the Dem's health care reform legislation to the floor for debate. In response to critics who claimed nobody knew what was really in the bill, the Democratic leadership posted the 2,074-page bill on the Senate's website (note: it's about the same length as Sarah Palin's book). The real fight will come after floor debate is finished, when Senator Joe Lieberman has vowed he will switch sides and vote with the GOP to block cloture if the final bill contains a public option ... A new Boston Globe poll shows Attorney General Martha Coakley holds a wide lead in the Dem primary for the open US Senate seat. The numbers: Coakley - 43%, Congressman Mike Capuano - 22%, venture capitalist Steve Pagliuca - 15%, philanthropist Alan Khazei - 6%. The winner of the Dem primary on December 8 is all but certain to defeat State Senator Scott Brown (R) in the January general election ... In North Dakota, a new Zogby poll shows Governor John Hoeven (R) would defeat US Senator Byron Dorgan (D) by a lopsided 55-36 vote. Hoeven has not yet decided on whether he will challenge Dorgan next year ... Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) is now apparently leaning towards running against interim US Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D) in 2010, instead of running for Governor, according to conversations Giualiani had with close associates last week ... In California, a new Rasmussen poll shows US Senator Barbara Boxer (D) leading centrist former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (R) by a 46-37 vote. Boxer also leads conservative State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R) by a nearly identical 46-36 vote ... US Senator John McCain (R) may have trouble with his party's conservative base, if conservative former Congressman J.D. Hayworth challenges him in the GOP primary. The latest Rasmussen poll shows McCain leading Hayworth 45-43 vote, with anti-immigration activist Chris Simcox at 4% ... Finally, my best wishes to all for a happy thanksgiving.
