Start from Scratch - Blue Dog Democrats on Health Reform

CNN: Reports on what could be a new call by Blue Dog Democrats, start anew on Health Care Reform. I think it can be argued that Blue Dog Democrats have gotten the message from their voters, the US voter does not like the Obama health care reform plan, and worse they might vote against their House of Representative member who votes for the plan. Over the weekend we saw the Obama White House lose grip of the PR of health care reform, on the one hand the US Health Secretary and President Obama walked away from a public option for health care, on the other hand the Liberal base of Obama's support went up the wall. If Obama wants health care reform he will have to stand up to his base, he might lose a few liberal votes but he will get Republican support, and a United Bill is better than a partisan left wing Bill.
