Undead Zombie Health Care Update

We keep killing it and killing it, yet it keeps stumbling forward. Philip Klein of the American Spectator says, “Democrats may want to keep House Whip Rep. James Clyburn away from the media, because he doesn’t engender much confidence in the path forward on health care.” UPDATE: Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) says Democrats don’t have enough […]
