Will Olympia Snowe Support A Public Option?

Don’t count on it. CBS’ Bob Schieffer asked her more than once this morning on Face the Nation whether she’d vote for a public option, even if she was the only GOPer in the Senate to do so. While Snowe did not explicitly rule out voting for a public option, she emphasized that she’d like to see the public option dropped from the debate over health care reform.

“It’s universally opposed by all Republicans in the Senate,” said Sen. Snowe (R-ME). “There’s no way to pass a plan that includes a public option.”
