I hope Kent Conrad and Max Baucus are paying attention to this:
In an interview with the Huffington Post on Saturday, Richard Trumka, the secretary-treasurer and likely next president of the AFL-CIO, said his federation is drawing a line in the sand when it comes to a public option in the health care bill. Lawmakers who don't support the provision, he said, shouldn't take anything for granted.
Conrad says that the public option doesn't have the votes. Well, it sounds like he had better find some.
Adding... Just a refresher in case you forgot about Mr. Trumka:
I wouldn't want to piss him off.
