As the Washington Post says, it is Medigogery. I would like to make a prediction. I think this may help some people put this in context and perspective, because it is do brutally partisan here. It is very unfortunate, because so much of what you hear is put in this partisan context. I predict when it comes down to the voting on Medicare and on the reforms that we are putting in place, and we ought to talk about some of the choices that seniors are going to have, because I think it is very important, but my prediction is that you will see 30 or 40 members of the Democratic party proudly casting aye votes in favor of the reforms that we bring to the floor.
