there are only two realistic choices and it makes no sesne to run away form them if one is clearly at least the lesser evil.

I don't buy that the majority wanted a public option, no matter what some polls said. Maybe they would have accepted it, but I never saw any great groundswell for it-- except for liberals endlessly pushing it when they realized single-payer was off the table.

Truth is, I think the public option had a lot of merit, but the whole bill, and the endless coverage and handwringing over the sausage factory, was so confusing that I doubt many out there (us wonks included) really knew what was going on.
