within the 4-year timeframe in which they hoped to either repeal the law or trigger a massive public outcry against it. Neither happened. And their chances for doing so in the future are dim indeed. Lights out.

Some are and some aren't. And others will eventually come by the truth over time. I do believe that the negativity aspect has bottomed out, and that more and more people will come to realize that the law will serve to benefit them. Dems need to take the offensive starting now -- kick butt and take names -- and explain exactly what would transpire if the GOP had its way and repealed the law, and with no plan of their own. They (Republicans) won't be able to do pull this off, but the point still needs to be made.
