Three Dimensional Chess

After reading this... my question is - Is this happening because the Dems think it would cause all of the Republican Governors to be voted out at the next election after they "opt out" of the public option?

How many of those same Governors actually refused funds from the stimulus? none.

And now they're going all around their states taking credit (with those big "publisher's clearing house" photo op checks) for the infrastructure and economic boost that the stim funds are providing.
