Just now on Countdown.

1. Wonder how that got leaked?

[flpoljunkie]

3. Fineman insisted that his sources were close to Kucinich and reliable.

We will see tomorrow morning at 10AM.

9. I'm sure it was a deliberate leak.

Thank goodness. I'm so glad to have him on board, if this is true!

[LakeSamish706]

2. So is it possible that POTUS told Kucinich that there is a Public Option in this bill afterall? n/t

[LeftyAndProud60]

5. I doubt that very much. I do think they will work to improve the bill though. NT

[DFLforever]

4. Do you believe him?

I wouldn't unless his source is Kucinich himself.

[mzmolly]

10. I'm guessing the source was Kucinich's office.

They want to prepare people for the change of heart.

[DFLforever]

19. Ah... that makes sense.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Gahahahaha

:rofl:

[Hissyspit]

12. What's so funny?

[DrToast]

7. A press conference to announce 'no' is just bizarre

Kucinich is a weird one, but even I couldn't imagine he would do that.

[mzmolly]

8. This must be the case. If he does, he's a brave

soul. Seriously. He's doing the right thing.

13. That'll piss off the DK bashers won't it?

[Bolo Boffin]

14. I don't see why anyone is bashing anybody.

I mean, other than the Blue Dogs and Stupakers.

[Hissyspit]

15. It's ridiculous, isn't it?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. No, it's not about Kucinich, it's about his vote.

If Kucinich does the right thing and support HCR, his critics will be appeased and move on to the other hold outs.

In the same vein, those who've been acting like Kucinich is the greatest thing since Jesus will drop him like a ton of bricks.

[panader0]

21. While I understand that people criticize him for being "unrealistic"

I think the House needs DK as a foil if for no other reason. He can remind Dems of the goal, whether or not it is too idealistic to accomplish.

[jenmito]

17. No, it'll cause his defenders to call him a "sell-out."

[dionysus]

18. i hope he does.

[denimgirly]

20. If true, i'd be more interested in knowing what it took to get his vote...THAT is the story.

DK is no sell-out and if he votes for tihs appalling thing then i am veyr much intrigued by what changed his mind besides a Rham-type threat to cut his balls off if he didn't. And even if it was a physical threat it would still be very interesting cuz it would finally show that the POTUS can actually fight! Sadly, against real progressives is counterproductive and damaging, if true.

Anyway, if DK says Yay then it might actually be a very good thing and i am very encouraged because there is one democrat that does not sell out, evne if the WH has and most of Congress, and that is DK.
