The primary difference between Obama and his opposition in Congress is that he never peaked, and they had nothing after August.

Seriously, dood... What world do you live in??

Obama never "peaked".. He has suffered the steepest decline in popularity of any president in the last 50 years...

As far as the opposition, they had nothing but better ideas after August. Even members of this forum had stated as much.

CW is dead on ballz accurate insofar as things being very fluid goes. If (and that's a big IF) there will be a "public option" it will be of the OPT OUT variety. And, if the majority of states choose to opt out, that will simply prove the non-viability of DunselCare.

Just to point up the 11-dimensional chess at work here: there is no way the public option would have been able to get 60 votes until now. The primary difference between Obama and his opposition in Congress is that he never peaked, and they had nothing after August.

I would love to believe the rumors that a public option will be in the final bill. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Sen. Reid will find his backbone and push thru the public option but I am not holding my breath.

I think that we should tell the GOP to go ahead and filibuster if they dare.
