... if Progressives cave now, no one will ever take them seriously again. If the 60 members who signed a letter saying they "simply cannot vote for such a proposal" that does not have a public option don't abide by that promise, they are rendering their entire caucus powerless in every battle to come.
I agree. If they're going to let Rahm Emanuel run all over them with the Blue Dogs at this point in the young Obama administration during a supremely crucial debate (that was part of the referendum that swept Obama into office), why should they ever expect any respect in the future? They'll prove themselves irrelevant.
