Know when to fold 'em

We've been noting SD Sen. John Thune's increasing push for his Government Ownership Exit Plan legislation (here and all over his site).

If Americans knew who Thune was, and if they knew what S.1242 stood for, they'd probably like it.

New Rasmussen:

Eighty percent (80%) of U.S. voters want the government to sell its stake in General Motors and Chrysler as soon as possible.... Support for ending the government ownership is so strong that 64% favor a proposal that would force the government to sell the auto companies within a year. Only 26% are opposed.
