Healthcare reform legislation is "not dead by any means," Democrats' third-ranking leader in the House emphasized Wednesday.
Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) struck a confident pose about the prospects for healthcare reform in the Senate as Democrats scramble to put together plans to pass healthcare legislation after their special election loss Tuesday in Massachusetts.
"It's not dead by any means," Clyburn said during an appearance on CNBC.
Clyburn made a direct reference to budget reconciliation, a parliamentary maneuver allowing Democrats to sidestep the filibuster rules in the Senate requiring 60 votes to move forward with a piece of legislation.

They are crazy.
SHHHHHH! Let them dig their graves deeper. Shovel ready!
“The HELL with what America wants...”
The Rat Senators have already said that it’s not going anywhere in their chamber now, so Congressman Clyburn best keep his nose in his own chamber instead of presuming to tell the Seante what to do.
HusseinCare was,by far,the most important issue on the minds of Massachusetts voters yesterday.If HusseinCare is so unpopular in MASSACHUSETTS,how popular do you think it is in South Carolina? And due to your support of it what do you think your chances of reelection are in November?
Go ahead and and try it you foolish assface Clyburn.
Bad article.
Clyburn is the House Majority Whip. Dick Durbin is the Senate Majority Whip.
What's with all these stories about House members suggesting what the Senate will do?

Yeah, good ol’ Clyburn, last I checked, wasn’t in the Senate. So he can spout like a fool all he wants. And he does.
The public needs to be kept informed if and when they try another vote. Democrats are intent on passing every nutty measure they can when people aren’t paying attention.
Everyone in America knows what's going on with these anti-Americans, anti-capitalists Obama and many of his ilk. Yesterday, America rejected this socialist shinola!
I know dems are foolish, but after what I saw last night on Hannity with Luntz's all dem focus group shoving their middle finger in Obama, Pelosi and Reid's face I realized, many dems are just selfish, not stupid. I also realize even some dems will not support a socialist unamerican dork when they see one!
It's a hot topic right now. I would imagine a fair number of these articles are written just to drive traffic to the outlet's website.
I’m not convinced they even have 50 votes now.
He needs to worry about getting it passed in the House at this point.
Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.)

South Carolina will have his lunch - probly not up for re-election til 2014?
Pass the Demographic Warfare Health Care Bill, and Americans will rise up against their own government.
No way that Americans will silently surrender their freedoms to a bunch of socialist prigs.
The dems want that demmographic control so very badly. They are willing to risk everything?
Good, Bring it on you idiots. America will pound these radicals into dust.

He is House Majority Whip, He's up this fall. He won in 2008 with 67% of the vote. He's not going anywhere...
He has a custom gerrymandered district. He can’t lose.
Wingnuts don't tell you that support for the bill collapsed after the public option was ruled out by obstructionism. The Dems best bet is to use budget reconciliation and give America what they wantAmericans are pissed that the Dems are not delivering on the agenda they won overwhelming majorities in 08 running on. Stop dithering with bipartisanship. Use reconciliation and deliver on your promises.
There are two words for this poor man. Delusional wingnut.
There's a part of me that wants the Democrats to take his advice...
