This side of the debate didn't receive much media attention here in Memphis. The Commercial Appeal secretly did this live stream where the Senator candidly discussed his views of the proposed health care reform. I may be reading more into it than there really is, but I don't think I am though. Otis Sanford who I discussed just last week http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2009/08/smooth.html did the interview. Notice the questions he asked and the sarcasm in his voice. He is obviously on the side of Democrats.
Really Bob Corker's vote is more important than Steve Cohen's. One is a Congressman the other one is a Senator. Even if the bill passes one which it will, it has to pass the other. Based on local coverage and attention you would think Cohen is the latter. I hope the citizens notice how Cohen's tone has changed. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/aug/11/debate-goes-on/ In three days he went from proofreading to praise. I guess it's evident how I feel. But I always want what I feel is best for all concerned. I never have hidden agendas. I always want to hear the flip side.

I found it interesting that one of the reporters in attendance spent her time questioning Sen. Corker about why he didn't do a townhall meeting in Memphis. Instead of using that time to ask any questions she might have had or state her own concerns.
