The Optimist

Sullivan has this incredibly optimistic note on the growing popularity of health insurance reform. (The optimism is in his vision of 2010, not the numbers themselves.) Personally, I think so much of the coverage and discussion of this has been bezerk, but I'm gratified to learn that only 21 percent of those polled approved of the Republicans handling of the issue. The party of "no" and no ideas can't win this one. It's just too awful to think they could. I might not be thrilled with the transformation of health reform into health insurance reform, but something has got to be better than nothing.
