Quick notes:

This is the kind of win that inside the beltway folks take real notice of.

Now we will start to make changes.

This is a big win for the president.

Thinks it will pass the senate without big changes.

Pre-existing will help, but older people not so much.

Will help people enormously who are at the lower end of the income scale..they can get insurance.

The mandate will make people mad.

2. Sounds great, "This is the Beginning, not the end...Now the real reform will start" SWEET!!!

I thought the comments might be very critical, but Howard Dean said the right things.

This truly IS the Beginning of meaningful reform!

3. I wasn't a deaniac. Mass movements tend to repel me.

But I sure like what he's done and said ever since.
