Or ... does this vote give all of us a sense of where the House is??
That is my point.
For all of the screaming about the evil Obama ... this vote was a simple House vote. And if you think the Dems in the House are very Liberal, this vote should make you take pause and consider that view. They are NOT.
And THAT is why Obama was not able to force a public Option. It was NOT that Obama did not try, it was because the House (and the Senate) do not have sufficient votes.
