Here’s an interesting detail/admission from Michael O’Brien’s interview with Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho):
Crapo said that he credited the August recess protests with having created enough of an impression among his colleagues for them to have voted down public option amendments in the Senate Finance Committee, but he worried the protests haven’t had enough of an impact as the debate moves forward.
“I’m concerned that that impact is not as deep as they thought it would be,” he said.
This comes as polling shows a small uptick in support for Democratic health care reform since President Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress. The Pollster.com average shows support for the president’s health care plan slowly rising, now at 46.5 percent, since bottoming out in mid-August.

Awww, those townhalls full of trailer trash rednecks who probably don't have health insurance and who were yelling like idiots didn't fool too many people? I'm shocked, shocked I tells ya!
Why Piyush Jindal just said the other day that the health care debate is over, reform is dead, and the townhall fools won. Wow, Piyush, that's not good news for you. However, it does sound like good news for America…and John McCain!
GOP = What a Bunch of Losers

Those folks at the town hall meetings have not gone away and the anger over a health care bill crammed down the throat of the Country will result in many changes in 2010 and 2012. The Spendocrats understand their days are numbered and are trying to inflict as much damage as possible before they are tossed out of office. If the Republicans do not embrace the conservative message with small government, lower taxes and fiscal responsibility they will lose out to the Independent Party. Let the Rhino's move to the Democratic party. McCain, Snow, Collins and the rest should switch parties.
