The Dems have repeatedly wanted and acted in Dem-only mode for health care reform and have had their heads handed to them in NJ, VA and MA. There is no guarantee they will not continue their arrogant and self-destructive behavior. The voters aren't stupid, if the Dems keep pushing a Dem-only approach — with even fewer, more liberal Dems, then the public will think they are even more dangerous and more crazy than they think they are now — and when NPR gets a 5 point generic ballot edge for the GOP — which doubles to 10 points when you look at likely voters, and the Dems keep pushing and keep ignoring the public, then they really, truly have lost their minds. The Democrats have become mentally unbalanced due to extreme frustration. They were so close, so close! They had everything, the Presidency, the House, 60 votes in the Senate! They'll never get that again, not in a generation. (They are certainly right on this point) Their base will kill them if they don't pass healthcare reform. So they'd rather charge up that hill one last time. Death or Glory!
