I think that Snow and Collins have too much to worry about at home. However, McCain and Graham could well sell us out. McCain is making a show, but his chance to grand stand will make him wet his pants.

The new proposal is a "public option" through the backdoor. It does the same thing by expanding Medicare. Dingy Harry must think people are stupid.
