Now that's it's been called a tax, we only need 51 Senators to vote to repeal. This is becoming more and more doable.

Not so fast! Repealing the mandate might be possible if the GOP has 51 senate votes AND the guts to do it in the face of network news and political ads showing poor people suffering and dying, AND Romney didn't veto it, but I think you would need 60 senate votes to overturn the parts about Pre-existing conditions, under 26 covered, birth control and breast X-rays, can't charge different rates based on sex.

That comment looks very familiar.
GOP cowardliness is the biggest roadblock if they even win both houses AND the WH together. I don't expect much good from the Republican mandate candidate Romney.
