“Delahunt says he’s “not comfortable” with O/Care after seeing Brown run up wide margins in his district. He has now “found Jesus” on healthcare”

The voters will HAVE to be reminded again and again till November that if Brown had NOT won, these SAME democrats would have forced Obamacare onto them....and will DO SO if they get another super majority.

Agreed, BUT for the rest of THIS year the democrats will pretend that they now “see the light”...they will try to fool the voters into thinking that they (the dems) will now do what they voters want...the message has to be that they WOULD have forced Obamacare thru had it not been for Brown, and IF they get a supermajoity again, THEY WILL DO IT.
