Well, the polls tell a different story. The polls consistently show that people do want health care reform and the deficit reduction that should come with it. So if the GOP strategy is to obstruct progress, that will be as distasteful to Americans as the actual health care bill became. So the answer isn't abandon all hope of reform, but to go back to the drawing board and pull the best elements out of the current bill, and try again. Speaking for myself only now, I wasn't so much frustrated by the health care bill as I was by the fact that we have so many other priorities that aren't getting taken care of because the health care debate was drowning everything else out. So for Independents like me, frustration at the lack of progress is a big issue. The Democrats are frustrated they didn't get their health care bill. And the GOP is exultant that they stopped progress and got a guy elected in Massachussetts by portraying the Dems as ineffective at reform. A Dem strategist would be smart to advise the Dems to just git er done and forget about what the GOP wants. It's either that or they are guaranteed to lose seats in November...and I'll be one of the ones voting them out of office.
