Don't. Pass. The. Damn. Bill.

Yglesias makes his pitch for the health care bill and argues that it is in the Democrats' political interest to proceed. Suderman isn't persuaded:

[T]he choice for Democrats may actually be whether they want they want to be portrayed as so single-minded in their determination to push their unpopular agenda on the public that they are willing to use party-line voting and any sort of obscure procedural trickery they can come up with to get it passed, or whether they want to be able to make the argument that they responded to the public's clear concerns and backed off an incredibly unpopular piece of legislation when they had the chance.
