A fascinating theory

Okay, we love this blog. We don't see the world exactly the way the writers of Hill Buzz do, but there is some genuinely interesting and insightful thinking going on over there. Read this column and see what you think. The writers are reformed liberal gay guys living in Chicago; they also published an apology to Dubya. That takes nerve:

Burris, for his part, gets to watch the White House that maligned him self-destruct. Emanuel and Jarrett must be apoplectic over the forced issue of public option. There is no good that can come of this for the White House, because Burris-Leiberman forced there to be just two paths taken, both leading nowhere:

(A) Public Option is dropped, so liberals go to war with the White House and remove his strongest, most active, most Kool-Aid crazed supporters for 2010 and 2012 (remember, everyone, the excuse for losing New Jersey and Virginia in the elections earlier this month was that Dr. Utopia’s voters didn’t turn out because they didn’t know he wanted them to; well, Democrats need those voters to turnout in 2008 numbers to avert a midterm debacle…and Libs won’t want to turn out if public option wasn’t pushed through).

(B) Public Option is kept, and moderates and blue dogs in red states bail on this bill because they know voting for a public option ends their Congressional careers instantly.
