Ruh-roh Obama. You might be able to get more republicans on board by saying you're willing to back down from the public option, but it looks like you're going to have more problems with liberal democrats now. What a tangled web we weave.....

Dean was on NBC TODAY show this morning flogging his health care reform plan...which would be modeled after another US Government success story: Medicare! So, evidently, even Dean realizes that the "public option" would result in a mis-managed, bankrupt, corrupt system...but, that's the best answer?

He threatened primaries to any dem not going along with the public option. Does this mean they're going to primary Maobama?

Maybe I'd be more apt to believe him if he'd punctuate his position with one of those rousing yells of his.

What a tangled web we weave.....Wow, Howard Dean finally found a way to make himself relevant enough to warrant some press coverage again. He must be SOOOOOO proud!

Put a Bologna Sandwich and a Moon Pie with that RC and I'd be right back at about 1968, somewhere on a sand dune between Portales and Clovis!

Welcome to the board.
