re: #369 simoom

I’d be shocked if it gets included. They’re threading a needle between the Senate Blue Dogs, Stupak’s House anti-abortion coalition and the more liberal House Dems. Of those groups, the latter seems most desperate to pass a bill, so I’m guessing: no public option, and abortion language that is going to infuriate the base.

In which case - why the Hell bother?

I mean, if he can’t get even a half of a loaf with both houses of congress supposedly on-board, and with an American public crying out for the sweet saving balm of the Obama plan, then why even bother?

Threading a needle is harder than this should be. This ought o be like tying your shoes.
