I am not naive. I am not easily convinced. I am with the President as I am now convinced that whether he had fought hard or not for the Public Option, the Senators (not only Lieberman but many others) were quietly against it irrespective of there public statements. That said giving the Right a talking point of a Democratic Senate defeating a President of the same party’s specific policy would have been detrimental given a large portion of American’s short attention span and lack of multi-dimensional thinking.
