The problem they'll run into is the tendency for all this to be reported like a football game. That worked to their advantage when they were momentarily ahead after the big Massachusetts fumble. But now, if the Dems do get this passed, the initial coverage will be all about Obama’s thrilling two-minute drill.

A long way of saying the Republican leadership can't just take it for granted that public opposition will pay off for them. They have to work smart and hard from passage all the way through November to earn that.

Very true.

And people forget how much can happen before November. This bill, like has been said, won’t take effect for a long time. Come November health care will be way down the list of things important to Joe Voter. The economy will be the most important factor in the mid-terms. I’m willing to bet on that.

I agree. Personally, I’d like to see Bohner out of a leadership position. It’s not politics as usual, the game has changed.
