2. Not until I know what's in the final bill.
If this is all smoke and mirrors to pass some co-op bullshit, I'll campaign for his opponent myself, even if I have to move to Nevada to do it.

3. No co-ops, No triggers, No opt-out.
It's going to feel real strange to be against legislation with a PO, but . . .

5. More like Senator Feingold. Or Howard Dean
Both of whom have said that a bill with out a true, untriggered, no BS Public option, is not reform.

And yes, Reid said today that he would pass a bill with a co-op, and the opt out plan written by a corporatist DLC piece of shit named Tom Carper.

So like I said, show me a bill worthy of my support and I'll send Harry a letter.

9. The opt out plan was Howard Dean's idea.
And a great idea, as are most of Dr Dean's visions.

8. Not yet. Too early to thank him for anything.
The entire process of putting together a bill has been a farce, and nothing has been signed into law yet. If a good bill becomes law and Reid had a lot to do with it, I'll thank him - but if he winds up behind a bill that forces everyone to buy insurance under the threat of fines or jail, I won't.
