DNC Chairman Tim Kaine does not think much of the American public’s preference for how to move forward on health care reform.

“When I hear the start from scratch, it doesn't strike me as earnest advice. It's more like Dr. Kevorkian giving you health care advice. They don't want to start from scratch… Start from scratch isn't an idea. Start from scratch isn’t a solution.” (DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, MSNBC, 2/23/10)

A recent poll shows that 57% think Congress should start over on health care. It may not be the preferred solution of the Democratic Party but Party members ignore the sentiments of  American voters at their own peril.
