Despite having a 60 seat majority, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) still lacks enough votes to pass the Employee Free Choice Act (also known as Card Check) in its current form, according to Sen. John Thune (R-SD).

However, there is now talk of a possible compromise that could preserve the binding arbitration provision of the bill, which would be just as lethal to business interests and to the nation’s overall economic health, said Thune. He was speaking in a blogger conference call Thursday.
