We’ve had hardcore left-wing U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer representing California for so long that it is almost startling to hear the common sense that comes from some of the Senators from states not on the "left coast — such as Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. Check out this video below from a townhall meeting where Coburn engages a constituent in a dialogue after she asks for a show of hands of how many people in the room support a "public option" for government run healthcare.
Oh yes, of note is that Coburn’s profession — medical doctor.
