By glossing over details, the misguided student loan reform that is currently part of reconciliation will cost Democrats seats and create the first exclusive middle class tax.

Progressives, as unhappy as we are about the health care capitulation, are at the most crucial point of the long term strategy for success.

AP is reporting about a hanging death in KY. Trust me when I say this state has a lot of progressive and fair people... but also a lot of the other kind.

There is talk among Democrats and Republicans about splitting up the healthcare reform bills. At this stage, that makes sense. I think we can accomplish the most needed and best parts of the President's proposal in parts 2 andd 3 with 70 votes, including Respublicans. That leaves part 3 for contensious debate.

I need to clarify some confusion about an yesterday's post suggesting a "state option."

I am not the smartest nor most politically savvy person in the room, but it seems to me there is a great compromise that will meet the President's goals, be satisfactory for the Netroots and destroy the right-wing propaganda masters' talking points - the state-run insurance option.

While researching something esle, I came across this gem which indicates A. how long health insurance has been broken in this country and B. Where conservatives have a history of support for ideas like the public option currently on the table.

There have been enough sacrifices in the healthcare bill. I say if sacrifices have to be made for sake of compromise, make them elsewhere, like education.

I've looked at the numbers and have devised a grand health coverage plan that is prudent and meets most major goals from all sides. I started from the 1.7 trillion dollars of health costs that the US incurred in 2007 according to government figures and assumed the same level of costs (they should go down dramatically, but I didn't want to assume that).

Yesterday, a random collection of FOX NEWS constituents, racists, libertarians and anarchists gathered in protest loosely arranged around the idea of anti-tax. Left out was the left... and that was a mistake.

The answer is yes, if recent trends hold up. Analysis of numbers from the last election vis-a-vis the polls at this time indicate the electoral math for Obama still depends on winning one state- Ohio.

In the move "swing Vote" the Presidential election comes down to one vote. In real life, it could actually happen- but that vote would be in... Maine?
