First there was this, filed by Brian Buetler at TPM:

Face Off: Liberal And Conservative Democrats Huddle To Reach Public Option Compromise

…

On hand were Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)–who’s been trying to broker a compromise between competing factions for months–Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE)–who’s been floating a potential compromise modeled on Olympia Snowe’s trigger–and Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), Russ Feingold (D-WI), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), and Ben Nelson (D-NE).

Today there is this, from Ryan Grim at the Huffington Post:

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) sat down with centrist conservative Democrats…

Kerry said that Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) was one of the leading intellectual fathers of this new approach, an assertion Snowe confirmed, adding that Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) were also closely involved.

Sens. Mark Udall (D-Colorado), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) also attended the meeting.

So where is Roland Burris – who said he’ll refuse to vote for any bill that doesn’t contain a robust public option? And where is Bernie Sanders – another notably vocal supporter of the PO?
