Axelrod Says Health Reform Supporters Are on the 'One Yard Line'
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailySenior White House Adviser David Axelrod said today that supporters of health care reform are "right on the one-yard line" to push through passage of the legislation now that the Senate Democratic leadership says it has the 60 votes necessary to pass their version this week. ...
Howard Dean's Newest Scream: Vote No on Senate Health Bill
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyWe know you can't make all of the people happy all of the time, but it appears that Harry Reid's version of heath reform is quickly making none of the people happy all of the time. After months of Republicans blasting the bill as a massive new government entitlement program, progressive hero Howard Dean is sending his fellow liberals in the Senate a loud and clear message -- "Vote No." In Thursday morning's Washington Post, Dean says the health bill now in the Senate has morphed into a massive sop to the insurance industry that's masquerading as real reform. Instead of lowering costs and ...
Howard Dean Is Moving Toward Reality on Reform; Other Liberals Should, Too
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyLook to Howard Dean for cues and clues to the fate of health reform. The former Vermont governor, presidential candidate and Democratic Party chairman was adamant last spring that real health reform had to include a government-run public plan. He's now supportive of a Senate compromise that's a long way from where we started, but possibly the only way to get us to the finish line. Dean, a medical doctor who achieved near universal coverage of Vermont children when he was governor, has been talking for years about opening up Medicare to people who are younger than 65. He discussed the idea a ...
Howard Dean's Town Hall: 'Better Than Jerry Springer'
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyA chorus of boos and cheers rained down on Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean as they took the stage Tuesday night at a health care town-hall meeting in Reston, Va. "God save America!" yelled one. "Shut up!" said another. "God save the Constitution!" screamed still another, followed by, "Shut up, you pig!" Nearly three raucous hours later, Moran had yelled at one constituent for impersonating another ("You're not Miss Appleton!"); police had ejected pro-life protester Randall Terry for disorderly conduct; and many of the 3,000 in attendance had shouted, yelled, cheered ...
The Public Option: Is It Abandoned or Not?
By Bob Franken - Politics DailyThere are few places more precarious than where you stand after being sent to launch a trial balloon -- when there's flak all around and those whose idea it was could pull the rug out from under you. Just ask Health and Human Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who an Obama administration official is now saying misspoke when she gave the very broad hint Sunday that the "public option" for health care reform might be abandoned. ...
Howard Dean on Sarah Palin: Her 'Death Panel' Allegation Is 'Made Up'
By Bob Franken - Politics DailyNow here's a shocker. Someone is charging that Sarah Palin has said something that is "made up." Not only that, but the accusation is made by a top Democrat. Not only that, but it comes from someone as mild about his politics as Howard Dean!! ...

Twitter, Macaca and Stephen Colbert: Politics Dailies - July 9
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyA short one today folks, as I spent the bulk of my day teaching some Politics Daily writers how to use Twitter (They created a hashtag!) Bob Franken points out that even in a time of change, you can pretty much pre-write the news and just fill in the blanks. Minnesota Republicans cut Sen. Al Franken a check for more than $95,000, including $872 in interest. Mike Memoli over at Real Clear Politics runs down the staggering amounts of money 10 politicians have personally coughed up to finance their campaigns. Greenpeace hangs a banner over Lincoln's ear. George "Macaca" Allen is apparently ...
Howard Dean's Fighting Words for Congressman
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyHoward Dean has never been a man to hide his feelings, and today was no exception. During an appearance on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" this morning, Dean was asked to respond to a comment about his wife from Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) on yesterday's program, when the congressman offered Dean's wife as evidence of the limits of government involvement in health care. Gingrey said that Dean's wife, "Elizabeth," does not take Medicaid patients in her Vermont medical practice because the government reimbursement rate is so low that she wouldn't be able to provide health care to her own employees. ...
