Healthcare Reform Reactions

The passage of healthcare reform last night seems like a good opportunity to post here. Remembering what happened in 1994 when the Democrats were last in full control, and the results of the recent special election in Massachusetts that deprived them of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, I'm shocked to see the Democrats win an straight-up vote on health-care reform. Obama and a lot of other Democrats showed some real spine.

Here's some other reaction from around the web to the results of last night's vote:
