3. You know I just might be able to support Patty Murray
She and Maria Cantwell are my senators. I am sick and tired of democrats right now, but I think Patty Murray has demonstrated that she supports the public option. I have not seen the same kind of demonstration from Maria Cantwell however. I don't think I will be able to support Cantwell the next time she is up for election.

4. I believe they are choreographed to sign on bit by bit.
Several are probably poised to rush in at the last minute to save the day.

Let's not play politics, let's get this done.

(Getting senators to act is like herding a bunch of cats!)
