In conversation this morning he said (paraphrase) Moderates in a state like Missouri care about JOBS, not about healthcare - trying to explain why someone like Claire MacAskill wasn't firmly on the healthcare bandwagon.

If anything, the nationwide loss of jobs makes healthcare reform MORE imperative, not less. It also highlights the need to disentangle access to healthcare from employment status.

It is very, very frustrating to have ignorant and overpaid media pundits explain day after day how and why average Americans cannot/will not get real healthcare reform.
