Reply #: Sounds like you are in a red state. I have a question for you....

If your state 'opts out', do you think it would put pressure on voters in your state to reject their republican representatives and elect democrats? I'm wondering if this might not be a brilliant strategy by Dems to expose republicans to their constituents for who they really are, what they vote for, and pay a price at the polls? Would there be anger from your states residents if they don't have the opportunity to participate in the public option?

Your thoughts? I'm not convinced I'm right on this, so I would really appreciate the perspective of someone from a red state.
