"Schumer has it right about having a public component," Specter said.
As we've followed with Schumer's position, this could mean a compromised public option which more closely resembles the stupid co-op idea -- or it could have a ten-year trigger. Who knows.
If Specter said he supports the House Progressive Caucus notion of a public option, I'd be a little more excited.
