The cloture vote is the key. 41 safe Democrats or Democrats not up for election can block a vote on the bill while allowing the vulnerable Democrats to vote for cloture and say they tried to the voters. I believe this is Reid and Obama’s strategy and we will have gained nothing.

Good point again.  Thanks for reminding me of that deplorable tactic.

Then the battle cry will be.....how can we vote for this Dem, even though they voted for the repeal, when they back the party that stopped it?
