Romney will not repeal ObamaCare.

Why? Because the Senate is always the issue. There are 37 Dems that are safe or not up for election. Add to that 5 who are likely Dem and 5 who are leaning Dem, and you get a grand total of 47.

Without even considering the Republicans, we know that 41 votes is insurmountable given the Senate filibuster rules.

Right now RCP says there are 47 Dems, 8 tossups, and 45 Republicans based on the most recent polling.

To repeal ObamaCare the Republicans need to hold the House, Pluse Defeat Obama, and now the most difficult hurdle...they have to keep the Dems from adding only 4 seats to those 37 that are either safe or not up for election.

And that’s assuming that all of the Republican senators are true-blue conservative, non-rinos.

Sorry, America, but that ain’t happening.

Deathcare was passed by the reconciliation process, which needs 51 votes. It can be repealed through the same process.

Unfortunately, all we have is the shape-shifting Romney's word that he'll repeal the legislation his policies helped draft.
