Agenda to repeal health care law couldn't save some Republican gubernatorial candidates
Think Progress: Four Of Five Health Care Plaintiffs Have Lost Their Republican Primaries

<...>

In addition to these three losing attorneys general, Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons, who muscled his way into the health care litigation against his state AG’s objection, also lost his primary seeking another term as governor. Only Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett (R), who ran virtually unopposed for his party’s gubernatorial nomination, survived the voter’s scrutiny.

<...>

One thing that is crystal clear, however, is that wasting taxpayer dollars on a frivolous lawsuit is never a good way to appeal to voters. Every single health care plaintiff in a contested primary for governor lost their election — hopefully this will inspire future candidates to abandon their counterproductive opposition to health reform.

1. Bye Bye Gibbons
A man who will not be missed
I can't think of anyone who is more useless as governor than this guy.

Repealing health care = Epic fail.

3. What about the fact that their challengers are also calling for the repeal of the act
and, in most cases, are MORE conservative and wacky than the people they may be replacing?
