they could probably meet in a phone booth.
paul krugman took obama to task for attacking health care from the right, and obama retaliated by creating a "smear paul krugman" webpage on his campaign site.
i fear giving up on universal coverage is like jettisoning FISA accountability for the telecoms... it's just one more price the obama campaign is willing to pay to get elected.
