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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm trying to keep my options open wanting to see the debates, but McCain and Romney are now off the shelf for me. :)
To: Brilliant
And Romney just killed his presidential bid.

Romney is a joke.
