Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up
Daily Kos —
... folks, this is it. It’s the defining moment for health care reform... For conservatives, of course, it’s an easy decision: They don’t want Americans to have universal coverage, and they don’t want President Obama to succeed. For progressives, it’s a slightly more difficult decision: They want universal care, and they want the president to succeed — but the proposed legislation falls far short of their ideal.
