		<description><![CDATA[Pundits, including the Wall Street Journal, are calling it the &#8220;Grand Compromise.&#8221; It&#8217;s an agreement Senate Democrats struck late yesterday on health reform legislation that will allow those who oppose the public option to say that it&#8217;s out, while proponents of the public option can claim that it&#8217;s still in the bill – sort of.
