HOW MUCH IS THE RNC PAYING THE WHITE HOUSE?:

Democrats Try Tougher Tone on Health Plan ( JONATHAN WEISMAN and JANET ADAMY, 9/02/09, WSJ)

A top White House adviser said Tuesday he doubts two Senate Republicans at the center of health-care talks are negotiating seriously, as Democrats adopted a new, more confrontational tone accusing key Republicans of blocking change. [...]

Democrats are shaping a strategy in response to the public pounding they took over the summer from some voters angry about proposed health-care changes. They are also responding to the troubles of the Senate Finance Committee, the only panel in Congress seeking a bipartisan bill.

Democrats hope to persuade the public that Republicans are to blame for the stalemate...

Sweet! That's the GOP's message too.
