TheHill.com - Republicans soothed by Reid: "By Jeffrey Young Posted: 07/08/09 08:53 PM [ET] Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday met with a group of Republican senators amid escalating speculation that Democrats in the upper chamber are poised to abandon their hopes of crafting a bipartisan healthcare reform bill. Reid’s decision to call the meeting with Republicans comes as Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus has repeatedly postponed releasing his bill while liberals grow anxious that the Montana Democrat’s legislation will be too GOP-friendly."
