The argument by centrist Democrats against public option carries much leverage in the health care debate, but why? Yeah, we don't know either.

Appearing on "This Week" Paul Krugman made a great point regarding this perplexing fact, stating that said moderates have no "intellectual basis" to stand on when bad mouthing the public option and that their argument against it--which has been orchestrated by the health insurance lobby--is "sheer nonsense."

We'll just have to wait and see if the mainstream media decides to pick up on this meme now that the town hall distractions are flaming out.
