In other words, advocates of a bigger government role in health care are outspending opponents by more than 5 to 1. The advocates include not only the Democratic National Committee and left-liberal groups such as MoveOn.org but formerly evil special interests such as the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and "a coalition of drug companies, doctors, for-profit hospitals and union members" operating under the astroturfy name Americans for Stable Quality Care.

Good.  They need to outspend them by 100:1, probably.  And out-donate, too.

Because the insurance companies have had lobbyists in Washington for many years.
I wonder what this could mean if pro-public option guys totally take the cake? Do you think that will shift the balence of power in the dark rooms of the lettered streets?
