In what could be a blow to Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential aspirations, two Democratic White House hopefuls have offered preliminary endorsements for his health care plan, which would force small businesses to offer health insurance to all uninsured employees.

"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable," Sen. Hillary Clinton told the Associated Press on Thursday.

The Romney plan, which has already been passed by the Massachusetts legislature and is waiting the governor's signature, mimics in some ways Mrs. Clinton's own Hillarycare proposal, which crashed and burned in 1994 with disastrous political consequences.

In another sign of trouble for Romney, Hillary isn't the only Democratic presidential aspirant singing his plan's praises.

Sheesh, you'd think Romney's liberalism hadn't been posted all over FR for months, the way some folks are reacting to this latest manifestation.

Don't worry. If Hillary was forced to say something nice about a real conservative, she'd turn to stone on the spot.

I have a feeling the MSM will push Romney and McCain into a run off for the GOP nomination. We're doomed...

I think Massachusetts just slit its own throat.

Well, it probably really hurts for a few seconds from the actual attack, but the death may be preferable and quick as opposed to clawing at windows and gasping for air at the bottom of a river for minutes as life escapes knowing as you die the person responsible for your murder will remain in congress, perpetually.

Nah, they'll just split that small universe of liberal Republican votes.

ditto

I was edger to learn more about Romney in hopes to vote for him. I guess I got what I ask for. Better to get it now then after the election.

Thanks a lot for that very possible scenario - as if I weren't already bummed out enough ;o)

[EternalVigilance]

Okay.

"I'm melting!"

One's man fecal matter is another man's Chateaubriand. The Mass plan makes some sense to me, and a lot of Pubbies supported it, and it will help Mitt in his quest. Wrong again, EV! Cheers.

Thank you for the "Mash Moment"

I needed a spot of levity

[EternalVigilance]

...and it will help Mitt in his quest.

His quest to what? Earn a place in Hillary's entourage? ;-)

[Echo Talon]

I'm trying to keep my options open wanting to see the debates, but McCain and Romney are now off the shelf for me. :)

[DLfromthedesert]

And Romney just killed his presidential bid.

[EternalVigilance]

The Mass plan makes some sense to me...

Why am I not surprised? :-)

...and a lot of Pubbies supported it...

All six of them in Massachusetts, eh? ;-)

Thankfully, this should be the last nail in the coffin.

Romney is a joke.

Might I suggest that you add 'Any Senator' to your list?
