Over the last few weeks, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has held a series of meetings to try to find 60 votes for a climate bill. How's he doing? Depends on who he asks. If he listens to Jay Rockefeller (D-Coal), he should forget about everything except chasing the chimera of clean coal (my! what a coincidence!). If he listens to concern trolls Dianne Feinstein (D-Wildfires), Claire McCaskill (D-Senate Is Hard!), or Ben Nelson (D-Dust Bowl), there's no point in trying.
Or is there? Analysis hazy, ask again later below the fold.
