So I'm reading this Newsweek article I saw on digg, and after of jawdropping moment of WTF, I noticed the byline "By Marko5 Mou1itsas | NEWSWEEK"

Here's what I don't get, the article essentially pretends to spin the long drawn out Dem primary as a good thing, that has led to better organization, money, boots on the ground, and vetted Obama. But if that is true and if Obama has so clearly won, why all the attacks? Why are OFB so rabid on the WWTSBQ?

If Obama has won, why not focus on McCain or shut up and just let Clinton look more and more desperate? If Obama has enough votes why this long screed about Clinton's dastardly evil plans.

I think a certain douchebag doth protest too much.

"She's already lost."

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.
18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
