Today on Face the Nation, so it begins. The Senate votes along party lines to debate health care reform--but what are the chances now of a bill before Christmas? Big disagreements remain over taxes, abortion, and just the huge size of the bill. Can majority leader Reid keep the Democrats in line? Will a Republican crossover to help? And what is going to happen with the so-called public option? We'll hear about all of these issues with Republican minority whip Jon Kyle of Arizona, and Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York. Then we'll talk about the uproar over new mammogram guidelines with Doctor Jennifer Ashton, CBS News medical correspondent. I'll have a final word on remembering when a billion here and a billion there added up to real money. But first health care reform--the debate begins on Face the Nation.

Today on Face the Nation: McCain-Feingold...together again, but this time on opposite sides. Democratic Senator Russ Feingold and Republican Senator John McCain have written so much campaign finance legislation together that "McCain-Feingold" has almost become a brand name for reform. But on Afghanistan and health care reform they find themselves on opposite sides. McCain wants more troops in Afghanistan now; Feingold wants to draw down our forces there. On health care Feingold wants a government run insurance program; McCain says 'no-way'. We''ll get both sides and a fix on where these debates are going, and we'll have a last word on first ladies.
