I’m going to buck the conventional wisdom and say that this is exactly what 0bama and Romney were hoping would happen because now it takes the issue off the table... At least for the time being.
I think obama rushed the process because his re-election hopes are dim...he is going to run against *evil* healthcare-stealing republicans. Above all, he wants to be in power and have approval from the people. He is a narcissist afterall.
June is when the actual decision is released...
More to the point, the headlines then will scream that the cost is double without the now-overturned individual mandate.
Mittens could close out Bobo then and there by having a speech ready in which he admits Romneycare was flawed/Obamacare was unconstitutional and Congress must repeal/properly, the states are incubators, not the fed/how do we properly engage the real problem, extending care to the 24 mill who don't have it-won't get it-too stupid to care, and are clogging up our emergency rooms for the rest of us.
I think you have a very good point.
If Obamacare is sustained by the Supremes then in November, many people will be angry and vote against it by voting against Obama.
Where is that incentive if the Supremes strike it down?
