A great commentary. Kucinich, it appears (the vote hasn't happened yet), has decided forgo righteousness in the name of compassion for his constituents. What a novel idea!
Here's the deal: If this congress cannot pass health care reform - any health care reform - then health care will join abortion and guns as a third rail in American politics. No one will touch it again for years, maybe even decades. These days it appears that Obama is the only person who gets that.
A good compromise is when everyone walks away unhappy. Given the hysterical rhetoric, seems like we are close to a good compromise.
