RE :”
I know what you mean, but if WE surrender, that only helps the left. They are counting on a backlash against the SCOTUS (assuming Kennedy doesn't turn left again). Somebody needs to remind the people of the sleazy process that produced obamacare, and that it was really an all-Dem effort.”
Right now Obama-care is still so unpopular that I dont think that's an immediate problem. If it gets thrown out Dems will claim that every-single problem with Health care is the conservative court's fault much like we blame Obama-care now.
If Republicans fought like Dems do and wanted to win they would remind the liberal base that it was Obama that took single payer off the table in 2009 and that single payer would not have been thrown out of court, ref medicaid and medicare. Remind them that Obama pushed the unpopular personal manadate to buy insurance from privately owned companies.
The object is to demoralize them like they successfully do to us. That option was even less popular than the one they ended up with.
Gilbo is right, when Romney get’s the nomination that will be a surrender. He will be a disaster. This morning I heard that Newt is having private talks with Romney.

It is possible that if Obama-care is thrown out that Obama himself makes the election about single-payer as the solution, even though he didnt do that before. This time he can blame a Republican House.
The problem Republicans have is that they dont have any ideas that sound better to than average voters than “Tax the rich to pay for your health coverage”. That is one that money not-rich-people like to hear even if it wont work, it's like taxing oil to lower gas prices which polls popular too. Makes no sense but Santa is popular.
Romney will be a pandering disaster
