Progressives say Mass. makes case for public option
By Eric Zimmermann | The Hill's Blog

Progressive activists say the results of the Massachusetts Senate race make clear that Democrats should move ahead with a public option.

A coalition of progressive groups, including the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and Democracy for America (DFA), sponsored a poll of Tuesday's voters showing that a number of 2008 Obama supporters in Massachusetts think the healthcare bill isn't strong enough.

For example, among Obama supporters who ended up voting for Brown in the special election, 82% support the public option, according to the poll.

"In an election between Scott Brown and the public option, the public option would have won," said Charles Chamberlain, political director of DFA. link
