The headline in USA Today/Gallup’s latest health care poll is that the public, by a 48-46% margin, is against or leaning against the current health care proposal:
Forty-six percent of Americans say they would...
Obama
yesterday:
“From the discussions we had, it’s clear we are on the precipice of achievement that’s eluded Congresses, presidents for generations — an achievement that will touch the lives of nearly every American.”
It appears, from the context, Obama was intending to use the word “precipice” to mean “on the verge...
Has anyone seen Senator Evan Bayh (D-Indiana)? He has gone missing on the health care debate.
The almost VP-nominee has flown so far under the radar that a Google News search for “Evan Bayh health care” for the past month turns up very little as to the substance of Bayh’s views on...
Whether or not to blog anonymously has been debated for the internet-equivalent of forever.

Steve Benen, at Washington Monthly, suggests that the enthusiastic and open embrace by some single-payer advocates of the “Medicare buy-in” idea floated by Harry Reid, as a device to obtain a single-payer system, may have scared Joe Lieberman away from the idea.

Joe Lieberman...
Good for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which leads the way in supporting breast cancer awareness and research.
In a statement just released, the Komen Foundation refuses to cave in to the despicable attempt by Jane Hamsher and some of her followers to force the Komen Foundation to end its relationship with ...
Not content to call upon the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fire Hadassah Lieberman, Jane Hamsher now is trying to organize secondary pressure on the Komen Foundation through various celebrities who...

Yglesias’ ground-breaking
announcement that the country has become “ungovernable” because
the majority (Democrats) seem unable to run roughshod over the
minority (Republicans) in the Senate:
We’re suffering from an incoherent institutional set-up in the senate. You can have a system in...
John Hawkins has an interesting
post regarding a conversation he had with a Senate staffer on
the chances of Obama-Pelosi-Reid-care passing this year (not
