Well, in this case, I think he may be right to compromise. The health care bill can be very good for this country. If they can't get everything they want, should they kill it? I think any time you get more than 50% of what you want in a two-sided negotiation, then you are doing well. This bill is giving Dems and Progressives at least 80% of what they want.

Dems need to remember not to be like Arafat, where he refused a deal with Israel, because he only got 99% of what he wanted and not 100%.
