misleading with headlines

A Separate Headline: Conrad: Reconciliation Won't Work

Sen. Kent Conrad, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, on Face The Nation, has a distinct opinion on whether budget reconciliation would work for health care:  yes to fixes, no to the bill itself. 

Of course, the only thing on the table right now are the fixes. So the headline should have read, Conrad: Reconciliation Will Work. And this is important, because right now the House needs to be reassured that the Senate can actually pass the fixes through reconciliation. Prominent Democratic centrists saying it's fine, or at least appropriate in the circumstances (as they have been doing over recent days) is a huge boost, making House Dems much more likely to believe that the Senate will actually follow through on its side of the deal.

Update: Jonathan Chait has a take on this well worth reading.
