Actually there were two public option amendments, one from Rockefeller and one from Schumer. Nelson voted no on Rockefeller's, and yes on Schumer's. So while he's not a die-hard public option supporter, he's not entirely opposed to it either. I bet he would vote for a final bill with a public option if that's what came to the Senate floor. Whether he'd vote No in Committee on the Baucus-Grassley proposal, I don't know.

Edit: BTW, to simplify things I only listed the Senators who voted yes on Schumer's amendment, because that includes all 8 who voted for Rockefeller's.
