What does the Nobel do for the Healthcare Vote?
Edited on Fri Oct-09-09 10:41 AM by TheCoxwain
It increases his stature -

It put the focus back on him rather than the many assholes in the senate ..

What he says will have more weight behind it ...

So I think he has loaded up the bases even more ...



Watch out for the Home Run !!

2. I've been wondering about that, too
I hope it will push a few fence sitters off the fence and onto our side.

3. I think that's a bit of a stretch
The Nobel Peace Prize doesn't really have anything to do with health care. It DOES show that countries who already HAVE a decent health care system like the President, but that's not something that's going to convince any of these cowardly false "Democrats" in the DLC/BlueBalled Coward camp. 2 million Americans at his innauguration wasn't enough to convince their pathetic asses, nor are polls that show 70% of the American people want either single payer or at least a true public option.

4. Zero effect for healthcare, but may pressure Afghanistan decisions

5. I don't think the nobel will help
the health care debate at all. It is being turned into a joke by the media and not without reason.
