In a tag team effort...

First after an ecstatic news cycle where progressives everywhere took a cautious sigh of relief at news that the public option was going to be in the senate version of the health care reform bill we now how that mutt and jeff tag team of annoying fence sitters causing all sorts of havock.

Lieberman says he'll support a republican filibusterer if the senate bill contains a public option.

That means that we have to go searching for another vote again- and Snowe of Maine hopes all eyes will be back on her so she can push her insurance company sponsored "triggers" plan where the public option would be indefinitely on hold while the insurance companies pretend that they want to reform the system that has made them billions and billions of dollars.

Ball's in Harry Reid's court. I hope no matter what happens that

1. Lieberman's constituents are planning to replace him.
2. The White house is regretting it's naive support of him.
3. They kick this snake in the grass out of the caucus.
4. They find a different solution and DON'T have to play ball with Sen. Snowe.

in anycase, here we are again.
Get on the phones and call your senator- or call Lieberman and Snowe and express your support for the Public Option.
