Reid pokesman Jon Summers on Wednesday characterized McConnell as declaring repeal could pass the Senate. Summers called that "unlikely."

So, let them vote against it.

Then pass it again. And make them vote against it again.

They'll be slitting their own throats.

The point is:

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who controls the Senate floor schedule, has said he will not bring the repeal up."

If it's not brought to the floor for a vote, then no one can vote for or against it. That's why McConnell wants to embed it in an already popular primary bill would pass on its own merits.

There are AT LEAST 12 of the 21 Senators up for election in 2012 that are T E R R I F I E D at the thought of voting for this bill again and will do everything in their power to avoid a vote.
