Official death of the trigger
Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, has been the leading proponent of the "trigger" approach but she told The Associated Press in an interview Friday that she didn't plan to offer it as an amendment because it didn't have the votes to prevail. Snowe is the only Republican in Congress to have supported Democrats' health care legislation, voting "yes" in the Finance Committee. But she said Friday she couldn't support Reid's current version.

1. There's really no use in getting all wound up...
The fat lady isn't even at the opera house yet... then she has to get dressed... then she has to warm up... THEN she sings.

No sense in getting panties in a wad... but so many insist... oh well.

2. What about the People of Maine? Do they
like Reid's "current version"?

Is she thinking of her ideology or the People who need Health Care REform?

4. The majority of Maine-iacs are for a public option
according to everything I heard on MSNBC.

that she better keep her nose outta the air and to the grindstone.

3. Maybe, or maybe Lieberman will introduce it with Republican support
Or Bayh. Who knows? I no more consider the Trigger dead now than I did the Public Option last month. It simply is too soon to know.
