When Did Reid Say He's Got "Votes For A Public Option, But Isn't Sure He Wants One"?
Apparently he said this in the last day or so and Jane Hamsher wants us all to know this.

But I can't find a link to his quote.

Anyone got a link to the quote?

I'm sure someone has the quote.

1. I don't know how that could possibly true.
Did he get Olympia Snowe or Lieberman or Nelson?

2. Don't know. You'd think if he said that, it'd be fairly big news. As in, show up on Google
but maybe my Google-fu is just really weak right now. Full moon and all.

3. it's a tactic some activists use
to inspire people to act, they make up things like "Nancy Pelosi will impeach if she gets 200 faxes tonight!" or whatever.

13. No. You mean right here at DU people would actually make things up?
I did see an OP with that headline earlier today here at DU.

4. Maybe someone heard him say it but it wasn't reported
Blogs frequently report those kind of hearsay rumors. They should be taken with a grain of salt but it's not unusual. Politico does it all the time.

7. Hamsher jumped the shark the moment she shook hands with Norquist.
That is just scary.

10. You know, since that thread starts with a FAKE quote from Reid, I don't want to post on it.

THIS thread is trying to find out the truth.

You have a problem with the truth?

Or maybe Reid did say that recently and I missed it.
