25. Obama wanted the public option.... the Blue Dogs prevented us from getting it. What irks me is
that ALL of this -- and I mean ALL -- could have been prevented if the Atty. General of Massachusetts had done a better job of campaigning for Senator, and not taken a Christmas vacation just 3 weeks before the special election. She was not visible, she was lackadaisical, and thought she was a shoo-in.
She would have been our 60th vote in a fillibuster-proof Senate.. How close we came!
