Updated with a poll because I'm really curious as to what it will take to get the Public Option inserted. PS Slinkerwink and nyceve, you two around? What do you think?
Ok, I admit it. I’m a "conservative" and what’s more, I’m a Republican that has never voted for a Democrat in my life. I know that won’t get me a lot of high marks here but I think this background is somewhat useful to know with respect to this diary. One other important point is that I’m a strong supporter of the Public Option and I’m simply baffled by the failure of the Democrats to pass a bill that contains this provision. So apparently I’m missing something and I just can’t figure it out.
Follow me over the fold if you care to enlighten me and if you still want to salvage the slimmest of hopes for the Public Option.
