“..........................With the media spotlight stuck on ObamaCare’s woes, Democratic campaign officials tried Wednesday to change the subject.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee began issuing ads attacking 31 House Republicans over the specter of another budget showdown — and possible government shutdown — in the new year.
Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), chairman of the DCCC, also circulated a memo to House Democrats warning, “the worst may be yet to come.”
Israel blasted Republicans for “refusing to rule out another damaging government shutdown over defunding the Affordable Care Act and failing to produce a budget.”
Democratic strategists predict that the ObamaCare website will get fixed soon and that their party would be able to point to the law’s benefits and attack Republicans for supporting full-scale repeal.
“The other side of the argument is powerful,” said J.B. Poersch, the head of a Democratic super-PAC focused on Senate races.
“The pushback here is pretty simple: Republicans are all tied up with the health insurance companies, and the contributions prove it. And they’re not for anything. There’s no GOP plan or replacement.”
But other strategists warn that if ObamaCare doesn’t start working well — and soon — they could suffer a heavy toll in 2014.
“Democrats can sign onto different bills or push different things, but the message coming out of any particular candidate or campaign isn’t as important as what people are actually seeing, the facts on the ground,” said one senior Democratic strategist.
“Individual Democratic candidates can try to differentiate themselves, but past election results show that doesn’t work.”
