Okay...explain this...

“Most of the guys who voted for Obamacare will win and get sent back.”

That’s just one thing that I don’t understand.

“Most of the guys who voted for Obamacare will win and get sent back.”

That’s just one thing that I don’t understand.

Simple math. 435 House seats up for re-election this fall. According to most figures I've seen, anywhere from 90 to 100 seats are "in play". That's less than 25% of the House at large.

Now - 217 of this bunch voted for Obamacare. If 100 of them are voted out, that's less than than half the guys who voted for Obamacare.

Don't get me wrong - this will be historic, lots of people are going to get voted out. Lots of people from "safe" districts are going to have their butts kicked to the curb.

But in the big picture, it's pretty sad.
