But even as Democratic senators refrain from touting it, due to its popularity with conservative voters…
Shouldn’t that be, due to its unpopularity with conservative voters…?

It could equally be “due to their stupidity, lack of political guts, and general political incompetence…”

Of course it is. Republicans were promising that they were going to pound away on Obamacare, thinking it would be the perfect club and it would be all they’d need to sweep into the Senate.
But now the thing is being implemented and it’s not as bad as the Teabaggers claimed it would be. Grandma is not being killed by the Death Panels.
If the Democrats hold firm. People will realize that they stand for something.
All it takes is guts.

The law’s rollout wasn’t botched. It was the website’s rollout that was botched. That’s an important distinction.

Hear hear!!!
Yes , and thank you for pointing it out but again the dems let the pukes take over the narrative instead of making the case that a broken website didn’t mean a broken law. The president tried to explain the difference but as usual it fell on deaf ears - which is why the dems piss me off because they should have had his back - instead they ran like sissies

This is nice and all. But it’s just noise.
The bottom line is that a lack of enthusiasm among key Democratic constituencies is giving GOP the edge in Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia and Kentucky, and it’s put things about dead even in North Carolina, Arkansas and Iowa (according to Nate Silver).
Dems need to win five of those seven races to keep the GOP from taking over the Senate. This year, turnout will matter more than anything else.

and he has never purchased a bottle of shampoo.
It occurs to me that in four of those five states the black vote could more than pull Democrats over the top. AR, LA, GA and NC. I’m hoping and praying that between simmering anger over Trayvon Martin and renewed anger over Mike Brown, black voters will be angry enough to come out in big numbers.

Gardner is using it against Udall it in his TV ads these days (although doesn’t come right out and promote repeal), and Rove’s group has a very peculiar anti-Ocare ad featuring a pretty young lady who says her husband tried to start a business and they couldn’t afford their health insurance premium; VERY carefully parsed, so as to suggest a link to Ocare, when in fact there probably is little to none.
Gardner is flailing somewhat - the Koch’s and Rove are pouring in $$$, but he’s getting throttled on social issues and he’s pretty timid going after Ocare.

Ferguson MO trumps Obamacare in TeaPotty…
If The president weren’t black…
everybody would have stayed in their places.
The influx of millions of KochBucks for PAC ads has nothing to do with the GOP edge in key states??
If the GOP takes over the Senate this November, there will show votes for total repeal, which will be vetoed, but also a sustained effort to slice and dice it to death piecemeal, which might be perniciously effective.
GOTV, not Obi Wan Kenobi, is our only hope.

The connection will made in the minds of many GOP voters via the racist-in-chief’s expansion of Medicaid eligibility under OBAMAcare for those irregular people. There will be media sources which will connect the dots for those without sharpened pencils.
