Advertise on NYTimes.com Health Care Weighs Heavy in Ohio Race
Source: New York Times

Here in northeastern Ohio, as around the country, the political impact of the health care vote has been eclipsed by voters’ concerns about the economy and jobs. But Mr. Boccieri, a freshman Democrat who supported the final bill after first voting against a more expensive House version, still finds himself defending the law at stop after stop.

Because Mr. Boccieri, along with seven other Democrats, switched his vote to ensure the bill’s passage, his task is more challenging than most. Not only does he face opposition from those who dislike the health care law on its merits, but he has stoked cynicism about his independence from President Obama and the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, both of whom are unpopular in this conservative-leaning district.

1. Had the GOP not invented the T-baggers....the dissatisfaction with health care "deform" would
have been a call for the administration to move to the LEFT --

Obviously, the GOP anticipated that and put the T-baggers/anti-"socialists" in place --

Remember what Cheney said -- and AG John Mitchell before him --

"Right wing creates the reality and the left lives it!" --

ONLY if we don't remember that the right only can rise on political violence -- and we've

had 50 years of it! -- and stolen elections ...



Btw, both the large computers used by MSM to PREDICT and CALL elections and the smaller

voting computers began to come in during the mid-late-1960's -- just as America was passing

The Voting Rights Act.

Also, prior to the large computers, MSM was only able to report ACTUAL vote tallies.

The new powers were simply reversed in 2000 with the recall of Florida from Gore!

3. Is "Advertise on NYTimes.com" supposed to be in that headline?
It looks like you may have copy-pasted too much, but that's just a guess.
