Is it naive to think that the Dems will now pass decent a health care bill to honor Kennedy? A Bill |

3. I don't think so, and it should obviously be named after Kennedy. |

...so I'll have to say yes. I'm still making calls to many offices and I hope with our effort something good will come from it all, but deep down inside I don't think the Democrats will have the spine to do what's needed.

Ted Kennedy's death gives liberals who favor a public option an enormous amount of emotional capital. Question is, will Obama be pragmatic enough to transmute that into political capital? If he does, any Republican bitching about 51-vote reconciliation will be seriously blunted.

11. Who Knows??? Seeing "The America" I See Today, All I Can Say Is |

I Wonder! I wonder if our DEMOCRATS will find enough SPINE to "do the right (correct) thing!" Money has a way of making too many people forget what they were elected to do. Serve The People!!
