do you know what all the tallying of healthcare yeahs and neys reminds me of...
....
superdelegates. Do you remember how it seemed insane that so many people were on the fence? How helpless and crazy and unfair the process seemed? And how slowly, almost one by one but then in a torrent, the lists grew. Hillary voters switched to Obama, like no's are switching to yes's. Sure some didn't switch and some stuck with Hillary but eventually they were flooded with the Obama wave. Its not a sea change yet but it feels like its really going to happen.
Its not perfect this bill, not by a long shot. But what a victory for the good guys and this good cause if it does happen. I still have to say "if" (superstitious Irish blood even so close to St Pat's Day.)
And as the yes's trickle in, as the vote (the vote!) actually gets scheduled, I can't help but remember that feeling i had 2 springs ago.
"Its actually going to happen," I thought then. Now too I think.
I think.
