Pawlenty: If Dems Use Public Option As Trigger, They'll Shoot Themselves In The Foot

Even as members of President Obama's fractured party appeared to warm to the notion of putting a so-called "trigger" on any public health insurance option in health care reform legislation, Minnesota's Republican Gov.
