The release from the number two Dem in the House:

"As Congress considers legislation to provide greater health care stability for all Americans, I believe that an open and thorough discussion, including the experiences and views of my constituents, is critical," stated Rep. Hoyer. "Health care has been a topic of debate at the kitchen tables of American citizens for decades, and one that I have focused on in every year I have served in office. I look forward to continuing the discussion in this next town hall meeting and hope citizens will join me for this important conversation."

This is after Hoyer coauthored an op-ed with Pelosi accusing town hall protesters of engaging in conduct that was "simply un-American." And keep in mind that McCain carried this portion of Hoyer's district in 2008, which may explain why Hoyer has been undercutting Pelosi on the issue of the public option. The town hall will be held tonight. It could produce some interesting exchanges.
