>> pushing it now might negate the benefit later
Can you explain how, exactly, pushing it now would negate the benefit in ‘10?
A significant majority of the American people believe that the bill is flawed. Wouldn’t dropping opposition now send precisely the WRONG signal? If not, why not?
Right now, the Dims still can negate any effort made to reverse Obamacare. That will happen no matter how much effort the GOP exerts, and no matter how much political capital and cash they burn through in the process.
Cash and political capital are finite resources.
After the 2010 election, the congress will have a much different makeup, and teh efforts are far more likely to bear fruit.
