Less-angry politics

[drwex]

FiveThirtyEight published a very nice (and not at all angry or snarky) piece on the issue of healthcare reform and MA's special elections vote: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/01/massachusetts-liked-universal-health.html

It's an odd bit of apparent dissonance in seeing that a majority of Scott Brown voters like MA's health plan but still oppose the US national version, which has some substantial similarities. The blog entry explores some reasons for this.
