OK folks, this is my prediction: Harry will act like he cannot stop the repeal vote in the Senate and the Senate will approve the repeal. Then Obama will complain, but will eventually sign the repeal. No veto.
What makes me say this? Because the fix is in!
And guys like Mitch McConnell are part of it. The media is part of it...
This action will keep Obamacare from going to the Supreme Court and potentially embarrassing Obama and Democrats. It will take the spotlight off the exemptions and the added taxes. It allows Obama to claim that things have changed from 2008 and that he is just doing the will of the people by signing the repeal. His signature on the repeal will make him appear as a centrist. And most of all … it deals a major blow to the Tea Parties.
Without Obamacare, the Tea Parties will lack a central issue to demonize Obama and Democrats in 2012. Then if Obama actually cuts government spending and deficits, the wind will be taken totally out of the Tea Parties’ sails.
The old line guys like McConnell don’t want the Tea Parties. They can’t control them (remember that McConnell wanted to continue earmarks until the Tea Parties pressured him). So of course McConnell is cooperating with Reid and Obama to use methods for repeal that make it look like Reid cannot not stop it...
Republicans and Democrats all get things that they want … and most of all; they all get rid of the Tea Parties. Without this going to the Supreme Court, Americans are the ones who lose. How will we the people find out the limitations of Congress?
What a bunch of con men!

Good analysis, but I would say they will get rid of Obamacare before it is ruled Unconstitutional for the reason that the act of being rejected by the USSC would weaken the FedGovs power. Even Republicans hate the thought of that. They only use the talk of small federal govt, within Constitutional limits as soundbites to get elected. When Republican voters figure this out, we will be much better off as a country.
Only the tea party can kill the tea party.
The tea party isn’t going anywhere. We are already organized across the country. Our voices will be heard loud and clear in November 2012 just as they we’re in November 2010 no matter how the media tries to demonize us.
I agree.
That would change the focus, if not the subject , of the entire debate : Meaningful spending reductions! I'm afraid that 1 or 2% of a hopelessly bloated budget is worthless.
The budget must be rolled back to 2006 levels.
NOW!
Current wisdom is wrong.
Government is not the only problem. Ignorant morons are just as much a part of the problem. The only possible result of open-ended no matter how compassionate it is appears to be, is that everyone, mostly the working taxpayer will be significantly more miserable.
Seasoning the debate with mindless charges of racism and mean-spiritedness doesn't prevent the inevitable disaster, or repeal the laws of economics.
Good summary of the article.
