TWO REALLY GOOD PIECES OF NEWS

The latest NYT/CBS poll found that a large majority approve of a public option:
The poll asked this question: "Would you favor or oppose the government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan -- something like the Medicare coverage that people 65 and older get -- that would compete with private health insurance plans?"

The top-line result is 65% in favor, 26% opposed. Among Democrats only, it's 81%-12%, and independents are at 61%-30%. And among Republican respondents, 47% are in favor, to 42% opposed.

This is despite the tremendous effots by the Noise Machine to convince people that a public option would destroy health care in America!!!

The second piece of good news comes from Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) who claims that a public option can pass in the Senate.
