Yeah it's a dKos poll so feel free to dismiss, but I thought it was interesting. It certainly goes against some of what we've been seeing at the town halls.

Though that's been obvious to anyone looking at the polls.

Exactly.  In reality, the blue dog districts are some of the ones which stand to gain the biggest benefits if the public option were to pass.  The fact that we're having to drag them into voting for this makes absolutely no sense.  Just because the "town hallers" were the loudest doesn't mean they are the majority.

Racist populists.
