Remember all those wonderful list building exercises from Harry Reid and Dick Durbin last year? You know, the ones where they told you how much they supported the public option, and snagged your email in the process?
Because I sure do. Here was Durbin's:
The question is no longer if we will have some sort of public option in the final health care reform bill, but instead what form it will take.

If any member of the Democratic caucus thinks no one will notice the absence of a robust public option in the final health care reform bill, they have another thing coming.
Harry Reid even had Google ads:
Want The Public Option?

Ah, memories. Well, that was then. From Roll Call:
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Wednesday that leaders will have to ask rank-and-file Democrats to vote against health care amendments they may support once a reconciliation bill comes to the Senate floor.
