I'm going to lay the blame for the health care backlash on television, where nothing anyone says has to be true because nobody can afford to buy television time to refute the endless BS where your average American would see it, on TV.

There's a good answer to this dilemna Russ. My trail run director friend said it after the Tahqua Trail Run today (hint: you ought to start running again,hehey). All this stuff on tv is making people sick of the whole thing, but will that make them oppose reform?

Nope, they'll say enough already, GET IT DONE! That's the backlash I see in public opinion too. Obama gets it, he's saying that too. Maybe a hopeful note? Or am I just high on endorhpines from running 15 miles up and down over roots rocks logs through mud? Both, hehey.
