Possible swing vote Dem Senator would 'tend not to' back public option

Now, there's a solid, principled stand for you. She would "tend not to support" a public option? What does she mean by that? Is it that she would tend not to unless we, the people, can come up with more money than the vested corporate interests can?


Speaking with CNN on Sunday, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) said she would "tend not to" support a not-for-profit public health insurance option, adding that "[there] are some portions of our health care system that are working, but it’s all too expensive."


The network referred to Landrieu as "a possible swing vote in Republicans’ favor" on President Barack Obama's health insurance reform proposals.
