Is Udall's refusal to sign onto the Bennet public option letter more than an oversight? I honestly don't know -- it's hard to tell, but the questions are clearly worth asking as the final battle takes shape.
Apparently, no matter which party is in power, when bad news hits, the response is bury the news -- don't address the actual problem.
Fear-mongering has prompted left-leaning pundits to bless the health care bill, giving Democratic activists mindless reasons that everyone should shut up and fall in line ("Krugman supports it!").
Colorado Senate Democratic candidate Romanoff issued a statement that will put pressure on his primary opponent to add the public option to the health care reform bill. Will other primary challengers follow suit?
Increasingly, it looks like Bennet is trying to trick Colorado Democratic primary voters and appease the insurance industry at the same time. But will Colorado voters be fooled?
I ask what we asked yesterday at our rally at Sen. Bennet's office: Will our senator now fulfill his promise to push a public option using reconciliation? Or are we going to get yet another ridiculous excuse?
