If the Republicans had held the House in 2006 and 2008, Obamacare would be dead, too. Zero needed a super majority in the Senate and a majority in the House to pass Obamacare, something he had for less than 2 years. He'd need a super majority to pass an AWB, too. The numbers just aren't there now. At best an AWB will get passed by the Senate and sent to the House. Where it will die.

All bets are off after January 2015 -- but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rats do as badly as most lame ducks do in 2nd term mid-terms.

I hope you are correct.

The Baraqqis are converting OFA (which we have to say was quite successful) into a 2014 campaign apparatus to take the House.

If they can pull it off, the 2015/6 period will complete the transition to socialism.
