Open Left

I can't disagree (4.00 / 3)

By the way, I see Kirsten Gillibrand is supporting a public plan by posting a diary entry on Daily Kos.  Personally I take it as evidence the netroots are viewed as important in primaries, and welcome the post.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)

we know she's not a lone voice (4.00 / 1)

She is one of 16 senators who signed a letter recently advocating a public health insurance option open to all Americans.

The group also included Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio and

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Democratic Sens. Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Kirsten GillIbrand (N.Y.), Tom Harkin (Iowa), Daniel Inouye (Hawaii), Ted Kaufman (Del.), Carl Levin (Mich.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Jay Rockefeller (W.Va.), Charles Schumer (N.Y.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) and Jim Webb (Va.), as well as independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), who caucuses with the Democrats.
