...but I know that you're right.  The problem is that there simply is not going to be any public option in any final legislation.  Neither the Republicans nor the Democratic leadership, all of whom are corporatists, including the President, want it, and they have the power to kill it.

What we can do is to assure that as many corporatists Senators as possible don't get re-elected by forcing them to go on the record with their opposition to a public option.

Thousands of people are about to receive a death sentence from this legislation, who will die only because they don't have enough money.  Someone has to pay for that.  It might as well be some corrupt Senators, even if all that happens to them is that they get forced out of the Senate and into some lucrative lobbying positions in the private sector.
