Unambiguous

Never mind the assumption that supporting health care reform is obviously "risky," if more Democrats were as unambiguous as Senator Bennett (D-CO) in stating that good policy is more important to them than keeping their jobs, it could change the dynamic completely. It would be harder to paint Democrats as "spineless," and would put the "centrists" in the spotlight as preferring status quo rather than real improvements in people's lives, which, ya know, is the central point of being a member of the Democratic Party.
