One of the nation's leading Democratic pollsters and strategists is urging embattled House and Senate incumbents to abandon their defense of Obamacare and instead pledge to fix it.
Celinda Lake, whose firm Lake Research Partners provided the Democratic analysis of the new George Washington University Battleground Poll released Tuesday morning, summed up her advice to Democrats when it comes to Obamacare: Don't defend it.

Wow. That’s a big shift.
Anyone who voted for it will not benefit from this, though, because it will be pinned right back on them. For those who were not there, they might be able to shuck and jive with this issue enough to cloud the waters.
ONLY the GOP can blow the opportunity this presents. Look for Republicans to join the “Fix It” movement. Too funny.
Yep! That ought to be a good way to get rid of those political hooligans ... :-) ...
Desperation time. This is isn’t about saving the president or congress in 2014. It’s about keeping the Democratic Party viable for 2016 and saving Hillary’s presidential bid.
“We should have read it first to find out what was in it.”
Smart move, huh?
Yes, exactly.
Ditto that. Reaching across the isleism.
Call it “DESIGNED TO FAIL”
It IS the mechanism to pave the way for “SINGLE PAYER AS THE ONLY SOLUTION”!
The plan is to keep O’care around long enough to DESTROY PRIVATE INSURANCE.
Nero is not going to sign off on any repeal legislation. There is not a veto proof Majority either in the house or Senate even if the Rinos take control of the Senate this fall. It will take having all three branches in Republican Control and even then there will be the John McCain types that will play their hand to fug it up even more. (think Gang of eight) Count on it.
Rip it out.
Nothing less.
Remember what happened?
I believe his name was Scott Brown - broke the dems’ 60 vote supermajority in the Senate.
They couldn’t take the time to read it, or it wouldn’t have passed. Which was the People’s reason to elect Scott Brown in the first place - to stop it.
I see the next step coming and the Dems will help.
THEN, they will add a new tax for all based on income....call it Mediscam. So we will have deductions for SS, Medicare and Mediscam.
This thing is so screwed up and it will only get worse.
There is a common theme in Obama’s policies,
and it’s not to raise up the “downtrodden”.
The goal common with all his policies
is to whack the crap out of the responsible, successful people.
And then you can explain how you supported something so intrinsically flawed, but that’s not fair, because no one could understand that monstrosity, and you were just trying to help people. Now, stop obstructing progress and vote for me so we can fix it! Am I close?
They can try and explain how they were not given the chance to read it. If only they had a whole day to read the 2700 pages, instead of the half hour they were given...
That is terrible advice. We had to pass the bill to find out what was in the bill, and we have to celebrate it openly to find out how much people really love ObamaCare. Every democrat candidate needs to embrace ObamaCare, campaign on how they are proud of their ObamaCare votes and plan to embrace their greatest achievement with the enthusiasm it deserves.
