Obama vs. The Left: A Battle of Ideologies, Not Cults of Personalities In the era of "big data" political criticism can feel pervasive & personal to those in power. They need to get a grip, it's just the left's way of saying we care.

Reconciliation = Majority Rule Will Reid let three or four corrupt Senators owned by the insurance industry hold the public option hostage? Or will he use the reconciliation process to allow a simple majority vote on a public option?
