A Winning Compromise? By Joe Conason
The Senate leadership's decision to include the "public option" in its health care reform legislation seemed at first almost miraculous, especially to anyone who believed the hundreds of obituaries recited in the media over the past several months.

And the specter of a populist uprising against it will haunt centrist Democrats no more.
