Still, I agree with Stof that if he passes THIS healthcare bill he's screwed.

I mean, it's so unpopular the Dems lost an election in the State that is for Universal Healthcare more than any other. (They in fact have their own.)

Healthcare was not the reason that Democrats lost in Massachusetts, nor will it be a reason that Democrats lose any election.  The economy is the only thing that matters in today's political climate, and it doesn't matter what policies a politician puts forth, if their party is in power and things are not improving under their watch, they are on the cutting block.

The same reason Democrats were victorious in 2008 will be the same reason Republcians are victorious on 2010, Americans want their economy to improve fast and the people in power are seen as responsible for it.

So... I'm guessing you didn't see the polls for Massachusets then.  48% were against the healthcare plan vs 43% for when it comes to all voters.

That's... from the one state that already has universal healthcare.

Or... listened to the Democrats... they all seem to think it's about healthcare.
