Except every Union democrat and you know, conservative democrat in the states that they exist in... and the large number of democrats that thought the healthcare bill was a bad idea.

Blue Dog democratic senators opposed the bill because it was a shitty bill their consitutiants didn't want.

I mean, why the heck else do you think they did it?  Heck why do you think so many senators and representatives are set to lose their positions?

Why did Scott Brown win a seat in a highly democratic state when his platform was "No to the healthcare bill."

Massachusetts is not a huge democratic state. I live here. There is a very large republican base. The only thing Mass has a lot of is minorities and college students who vote during presidential elections but not during senatorial elections. Add on top of that that nobody liked martha coakley. 

You also have to factor in the very sizable contributions that the blue dogs received from healthcare.

How could the healthcare bill pass if there was such a huge division?

Because politicans usually ignore what the people who vote for them want until they are about to lose their jobs?

I mean, you are kidding right? 

 

Not to mention the Democrats also have to deal with a highly angry "liberal" side on the other side.

Did you watch Obama's daily show interview?

 

Right now the democrats are facing a lot of anger from both conservative and liberal democrats, and it's why the democrats will lose a bunch of seats.
