If the Democrats didn't figure they just had the power to ram in through and really wanted a serious deal, than a deal could have been a good idea, but the deal that I refer to in my last post is not such a deal, but rather the type of deal that was actually on offer. What the Dems might have accepted is some minor changes for Republican support, not a real reconsideration of the whole structure and methods of the bill.

I do think that some conservatives are overconfident about November, but I think this vote will still hurt the Democrats at the elections. Dems are going to lose seats no matter what because they have so many. Beyond that what will hurt them is not HCR but the economy. We have to be creating jobs in good numbers or its curtains. The elections concern me less than the harm this vote will do to the country. The markets are badly overbought. If HCR was going to hurt this country, the markets don't need an excuse to stay up. In the long run, HCR will help this country, not hurt it.
