Public Option Juggernaut

The new Quinnipiac poll:

[T]oday, Democrats can find some encouraging poll data in the latest Quinnipiac survey on national attitudes on the health care overhaul.

Including a government-run insurance option -- the most controversial part of the debate -- is supported by a nearly two-to-one margin, 61%-34%.

Today the Morning Joe crew were going through this poll and they were totally blindsided by the support for the public option. You could almost hear the record needle scrape followed by a collective, "Whah-huh?! Danger! Danger! Does not fit narrative! Eject! Eject!"
