Harry Says Yes

After yesterday's less than enthusiastic defense of the public option, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is now promising a public option will be included in any bill sent to the President's desk.

"We are going to have a public option before this bill goes to the president's desk," Reid said in a conference call with constituents, referring to some kind of government plan.

"I believe the public option is so vitally important to create a level playing field and prevent the insurance companies from taking advantage of us," he said.

Well that is much better. But can the Democrats deliver?

Because if they don't, the voters will let them know in 2010, count on it.
