Sebelius says (though now the WH seems to be trying to uh “recalibrate” it) that Obama is willing to let the public option be dropped if it means passing something that can be called Health Care Reform or Health Insurance Reform or whatever this week’s title is.

Ergo it seems fair to conclude that – if Sebelius was correct – Obama deserves to get an even-more leftwing Democratic primary opponent in 2012 instead of having a united party working to get him reelected.

Sure – it’s a bit of hyperbole to link all this together, but it seems fair game if we are to take Democrat leaders at their word.
