Memphis). Fuzzy feelings aside, this is a.) pretty poor policy, and b.) a lousy way to start off an attempt to woo New York's Democratic primary voters:
Q. You would oppose the health-care overhaul as it now stands?
A. I couldn’t support a health-care bill that places the kind of burdens on New York State that this one does. I am for health-care reform, and I think there is a way to correct this, and understand, Michael, I have a relationship with MSNBC, and I have talked about the increased taxes on business and increased burdens placed on states. At a time when projections show states like New York face the kinds of projected deficits, it does not seem smart to place that kind of extra burden on them at this moment.

The bar was in Memphis, other than that I agree.
It looks like the "liberal" people of MA are about to elect a senator who opposses the health care bill. It is truly a very sad day in American politics, expecially considering the wave of hope that swept this nation a year ago. I really believe that were Howard Dean the chair of the DNC that the campaign of Martha Coakley would have been handled very differently.
Will New York State be next? I sincerely hope not!
