Let me be first to predict that the Senate will use today's elections as the excuse to gut HCR |
|
because they will totally misread the local state dynamics and parrot the media and say:
This is a referendum on President Obama (and healthcare)!!!!
Despite the reality of the situation and despite what Americans are screaming for.
My Disgust O Meter goes to 11.

|

5. Reid's office clarified, goals have not changed, bill by Christmas. It is in the same AP article. |

But yeah the Liebermanns and the Republicans will definitely try to use any Republican win as an excuse to delay.
ON EDIT from that AP article:
A few hours later, Reid's office revised his remarks. "Our goals remain unchanged. We want to get health insurance reform done this year, and we have unprecedented momentum to achieve that. There is no reason why we can't have a transparent and thorough debate in the Senate and still send a bill to the president by Christmas," said spokesman Jim Manley.

It was DOA, watch and see, it will end up(if anything a tall)being a gift to insurance with mandates and maybe slight changes in regs on insurance.

6. Bingo. We get sold out again. |

Mandates are crap without universal single-payer.

7. of course, if they'd had the bill READY when they were supposed to, this would be a moot point |
|
and healthcare reform could have provided coatails for the Dems. Let's just watch all those deadline timelines fall through time after time. If I met deadlines like that at my job I would be fired.
