It will be interesting to hear Senator Whitehouse's take on how Tom Daschle's downfall will impact the Obama administration's efforts to change health-care.

From the junior senator, in a release sent last week:

Washington, D.C. – As Congress and the Obama Administration work to reform our broken health care system, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) will host a community dinner in Warwick on Sunday, February 8, to listen to Rhode Islanders’ personal stories about the crisis in our health care system – and their ideas about how to fix it.

“As I travel around Rhode Island, I hear stories from people whose lives and whose health have collided with our broken, dysfunctional health care system,” said Whitehouse. “Now that we have a new president and a new commitment to make reforming health care a priority, I want to bring these stories with me to Washington and make sure Rhode Island’s voice is heard as we begin this critical debate.”

Joe, it's my understanding there will be meatballs, and possibly pasta and salad.
