Daily Kos Diary: Dianne Feinstein to come out for Public Option tomorrow

Could Ted's passing have influenced the Senator?

Thu Aug 27, 2009 at 01:33:41 PM PDT
Joe at Senator Feinstein's local office answered my call this afternoon and let me know that he would pass along my conditional offer of continued support and activism on behalf of many Democratic Party candidates and issues here in San Francisco.

That condition being the Senator's support for a public option in the health insurance reform legislation, Joe then responded to my followup question - "what is the Senator's position?" - with pleasant news.

Feinstein it was said is supportive of the public option and has plans issue a statement to that effect tomorrow.

Let's encourage Senator Feinstein and be prepared to let her know that we appreciate her stand?

Let's hope this is true.

3. Or it could have been the million or so emails and phone calls she

has received from angry constituents about her future if she's not for it.

6. I will believe it when I see it, and not one moment before.

Except for her stand on women's rights and the environment, that woman has been sorely disappointing to me.
