The Democratic base will become more enthusiastic, and the GOP base is already as ramped up as it can be, so it'll be a net plus for the Dems.

This.

Plus, republicans probably forgot it, but 70% of Americans favor health care, no matter how enraged, arrogant or powerful the other 30% are.

If Obamacare passes, it will be a short term victory for the Republicans. The people do not like this bill, and have no signs of changing their opinion. I could see the Republicans taking control over the House narrowly (the senate is probably out of reach) but the Democrats will have succeeded in their long term goal. Once they have the public on their socialist health care plan (which is what will happen, inevitably), the Republicans will have to bow down before it if they ever want to be elected. The United States will cease being a Center-Right country.

R-NJ avarar ? Italian flag ? Health care being "socialism" ?

DWTL is back !!! Tongue
