VIDEO: Hunt: Health Care Reform Can’t Pass Without Snowe
On the Roundtable, Bloomberg’s Al Hunt says that a health reform package can’t pass without the support of Sen. Olympia Snowe. She provides cover for moderates like Sens. Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu and may pull over a couple of Republican votes.
HUNT: "Olympia Snowe, I think, thinks privately that in the end the trigger will be the compromise everyone has to rally around and give a little bit of face-saving to liberals and she and a few other republicans can go for it."

Why does anyone need “cover”? If they just write a good piece of legislation, one they know will be good for the American people, they can take credit for it. “Cover” means they don’t think their legislation is any good. Why can’t our representatives just stand up for what they think is good and right?

With Laura Ingram at the table, the liberal hatred for her was palpable. The liberals just hated the fact that there was more than George Will there alone.
