If it was about anything else before, it is about Obamacare now. We have seen what happens in an election centered around Obamacare. It is not pretty for Dems. If SCOTUS had struck it down today, it would have defanged this issue, and de-energized some of the GOP and Independents who united against this in 2009-2010. Some Independents who have been uncomfortable with being associated with GOP candidates are re-energized and re-united over this issue. What will be fascinating is seeing his whole party run away from him on this issue. We may pick up another 30 seats in the House and 8 Senate seats.
Its what that scares me to. but I don’t think Romney will make something worse. So I have shifted from hell no I won’t vote for romney to..
Ok.. I’ll vote for him. but I am not giving him any more than that.
FL won a court test allowing for its voter records to be cleanned up. Look for other states to follow, including throwing out dead voters.
Oh please. Get a grip. If Romney were a Conservative, MAYBE. Ppl are NOT engaged on the Health Care debate. Today’s poll? 7% think it’s important. Oh we do, the Dem base does, but that is it.
Romney is inept. Romney is cowardly. Romney is going to get slaughtered. The GOP elite did this to us. We see these threads all the time “GAME CHANGER!” etc. Health care won’t be much of an issue in 2 weeks. You know Americans.
This changes nothing and will probably hurt because it gives Obama legitimacy and will inevitably make the author of Romney Care look like a fool.
We should have nominated “not Romney”.
This decision means not much for the election.
Santorum 2012
“Yep I think everyone here at FR thought over turning Obamacare was a slam dunk. As I posted earlier let this moron run with this albatross around his neck, no more predictions.”
Not me. Not after that Arizona ruling.
I really didn’t want Obama or Romney, and the Supremes have handed the election to Romney on a silver platter.
By late August most economists will be publicly stating “We’re in another recession!” It will be an election between those who believe the lies of unlimited promises and those who fear for their future.
This ruling will be forgotten in that equation.
Just like Palin said today, we need to vote Obama out of office in November.
For all purposes, this decision nails shut the coffin to the Obama era. He is ONE AND DONE.
yeah Romney needed the mandate taken down by the SC because he couldn’t argue against it. A real conservative would not need the SC to do his own homework.
Oh yes, but will that all happen before November? Existing in the great socialist (commonwealth and union birthplace) state of Pennsylvania you can’t imagine how difficult that is, LOL!
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia will vote socialist for a long time.
Same here. That's when I started having real doubts about what would happen with ObamaCare.
What??? Obama just won re-election and may be crowned king for life because of this.....
I notice that your qualifier of “much” puts you in the camp of the non-insane.
“Obamacare is issue #2 or 3 with most voters.
Economy is issue #1.”
Very true. And unfortunately the vast majority of voters won’t understand the profound connection between #1 and #2.
REPEAL OBAMA 2012
THEN REPEAL OBAMACARE 2013
‘Obama: Mandate is Not a Tax’
STEPHANOPOULOS: I I dont think Im making it up. Merriam Websters Dictionary: Tax a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.
OBAMA: George, the fact that you looked up Merriams Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that youre stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldnt have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition. I mean what

Liberals don’t care. They know that unless the GOP wins 60 seats in the Senate, the law stands. They will just wait until they get another liberal in office and they will push the ball a little further down the field.
