Carper "Expects To Sign" Letter Calling For PO Through Reconciliation
TPMDC:
Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) tells TPMDC that he plans to sign a letter urging Senate leadership to pass a public option via reconciliation. "I expect that I will" sign, Carper said. The letter, written by Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), has been signed by 23 senators so far.
Carper is perceived as a moderate Dem. His signing of the letter would be a big deal, much like Diane Feinstein's joining the letter.
If this keeps up, Obama will clearly be seen as the obstacle to the inclusion of a public option.
