The interviewer is pretty good too. Pushy but without being negatively biased.

I love Chris Matthews, but some of the regulars are probably rolling their eyes at that one. I don't think he's infallable, he's just the best out there right now.
Since the dems are moving away from Public Option he's trying to see what, if anything, we'll get. The question where he listed 4 points and asked if he'd vote yes was a gem because he said no based on a lack of price controls.
The liberal democrats are the only one out there for the people on this. The Republicans have for some reason been against this since Eisenhower back in 1950. Their doing nothing but flying on Pfizers jet these days and doing everything they can to destroy a public option - which is at least fair.
