The question was a hypothetical - What if a bill with the public option can't be passed? That says NOTHING about working for it. In addition, Kerry's answer was not "Yes, sure" but that he would look to see if it did enough good.
That does not suggest "want" to me, but rather an answer 100% consistent with Kennedy's record - which is NOT one of refusing to do good because it was less good than he wanted.
How would you have had Kerry answer the question about the man he spent most of 25 years working with in the Senate? Should he have said "No" or "I don't know" - neither of which would be honest.
