It’s telling that neither Biden nor Hagan breathed a word about Obamacare during the event – even though Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) keeps insisting that Democrats will ride the success of Obamacare all the way to victory in the 2014 Congressional midterms.
Well....you gotta give 'em A for effort---heck, it's hard to talk when you're up to your neck in quicksand.
LOL.

Republicans say Democrats who voted for Upton's "keep it" bill won't save themselves from the political fallout of the bill in 2014. Nearly every vulnerable Democrat in the House voted for the fix.
But Republicans argue that, if anything, those votes are just examples of Washington duplicity — and they won’t let voters forget it. “The clear lie and rank hypocrisy on health coverage will be a major issue next year,” said Dan Conston, communications director for the Congressional Leadership Fund, a GOP super Pac. “They’re caught in a lie that’s going to haunt them in a year.”
Brock McCleary, the head of Harper Polling and a former National Republican Congressional Committee polling director, said the attempts from Democrats to fix the law could backfire. “It's bad enough that you own ObamaCare. Now to vote for a fix makes you appear duplicitous and to fit the mold of the typical Washington politician,” he said.
Their "keep it" support reflects the bleak political reality Democrats face in the wake of the rocky rollout and news reports that millions of Americans have lost their insurance under ObamaCare, shattering a promise President Obama made that “if you like your plan, you can keep it.”
Their efforts to support the "keep it" law could get even worse for Democrats. “It’s like quicksand. It's sucking people in. And this is just one component. Just wait until the next piece of this law is rolled out.” --SNIP---rest at FR web site.
