Tom Carper (Blue Dog on Baucus's finance committee but not on the "gang of 6" - gave a telephone town hall

The townhall is now over, and I have decidedly mixed feelings (as I suspected I would.) Carper is big on co-ops and huge on electronic medical records, but seems to believe that reform is essential. My impression is that if a bill gets to the floor with a public option he'll vote for it.

I'm interested in hearing what others think about extending the federal employees benefits to everyone.

What follows are my impressions from the townhall - which was almost entirely Q&A. The vast majority of what follows are not direct quotes, but loose paraphrasing. I tried to not slant or misrepresent any questions or responses, but I was trying to keep up, and it's possible that my perspective colored some sections.
