The implosion of Obamacare ?

Obama may have swayed Joe Lieberman, now he's lost Howard Dean.
Dean sent shockwaves when he said Tuesday in an interview with Vermont Public Radio that the removal of the Medicare buy-in means Democrats should just kill the health care bill and start over.

"This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate," Dean said. "Honestly, the best thing to do right now is kill the Senate bill, go back to the House, start the reconciliation process, where you only need 51 votes and it would be a much simpler bill."

Of course Dean's opposition isn't exactly based on the same principles as the Tea-partiers. Dean doesn't see the bill as liberal enough:
"This is a bigger bailout for the insurance industry than AIG," former Democratic National Committee chairman and medical doctor Howard Dean told "Good Morning America's" George Stephanopoulos today. "A very small number of people are going to get any insurance at all, until 2014, if the bill works.

"This is an insurance company's dream, this bill,"

Hey - whatever works to stop this takeover is fine by me. But duelling lefties is always high value entertainment.
