We wanted to to sound a note of caution that the fix was in, and Karl Rove would call in his chit for fundraising for Lieberman's last reelection, sending the Senate back into Republican hands for the remainder of George Bush's term, where they could have wreaked untold havoc.

After the House passed health care reform with a strong public option to provide real choice and savings for Americans, Joe Lieberman has killed the public option in the Senate and threatened reform as a whole. He's even refused excessive compromises, including a public option "trigger" and allowing Americans to buy into Medicare at age 55 -- a position he ...
