Senator Claire McCaskill (D) posted via Twitter today:
3 public forums on healthcare tomorrow. Hannibal,Moberly,Kansas City.Looking forward to explaining my support for a public option. about 3 hours ago from TinyTwitter
That’s not exactly news…
…but it’s nice of her to specifically reiterate her support today in view of the current environment.
Then again, the devil is in the details. Show up at a town hall this week and encourage Claire McCaskill’s support of a real public option.
and the staff person I spoke to at least seemed very sympathetic to the arguments for a robust public option — and I don’t think it was just the professional agreeableness one expects, but who knows …
McCaskill has got to get at least one of the big things right for progressives … and I don’t think it will get much bigger than health care.
