That interview needs to be widely distributed. Your point that Evan Bayh was unlikely publicly to stand against the public option in Senate debate was particularly good.</p> Jane, pardon the aside, but you were wonderful in your interview with Andrea Mitchell.

Conservatives unfortunately still run this country but if people would wake up and boycott their contributors and demand the legislation from them you would destroy their power. Apparently I haven’t convinced many people here, because most people appear stuck on process, just like the news shows do.

I don’t watch the News shows any more. I watch CSPAN.

I imagine you haven’t read the first post on the blog about joining together and boycotting conservative contributors and demanding the legislation from them.

Kurt seems to be working hard on health care — his piece is outcome-based care (aka best practices). He’s got a bill for research into what works so we can fund that rather than stuff that doesn’t. He’s a smart guy from a swing district who might face a serious challenger in 2010, especially since this is his first term.</p> We had planned to participate in Kurt Schrader’s tele-townhall but got distracted by other priorities.
