I'm not here to get into the fight about whether Reid is right or wrong to go with his watered down public option. It'd be preaching to the choir. I'm with you guys, I wanted single payer and a complete robust public option should have BEEN the compromise. Instead we began the game from a position of weakness and we're now staring down at the fruit. So if you want to fight that the Reid compromise is too much, have fun but it's probably best used in another diary.
I'm here to argue that maybe, just maybe, the opt out Public Option will be the perfect poison pill to destroy our opposition in the South. To hear my inane ramblings, to the fold!
