Prediction: Obamacare dies in Senate.

Pelosi's very narrow victory is a hollow one. The House was always going to pass Obamacare. How could it realistically not? We just didn't have the names or the count. That it was close is significant.

The real fight was always going to be in the Senate. Reid cannot lose any votes in the Senate. And if he tries to go nuclear option, he will lose big. GOP can slow the Senate down to a crawl with procedural maneuvers that can last over a year. Many moderate Dems do not have the stomach for it.

I do not believe Reid has 60. November 3rd was a big defeat for Dems, and those in the Senate have more to lose as a result.

When people realize the reality of the vote, that Obamacare is no longer theory but will effect their lives, watch out. The outcry from the American people as a result of the House passage will be deafening. The Senate will hear it. The Town Hall meetings will be even more electric. Make bank on that.

No need to be defeatist or down because of last night. I am more energized now than ever to push back against the liberals. November 3rd and 7th is the beginning of the end of Dem power, starting in 2010 and 2012.

Everything you say is true but what if the “Chicago Way” kicks in big time, with real threats and checkbook vote buying with our money and virtually no limits on the amounts the dems will pay to control 1/6 of the economy? What then?
most dem Senators are whores, basically its just a matter of price.

When I saw Pelosi’s picture on Drudge, I had such a bad feeling in my stomach. Your post made me understand the total picture. This is a war now. They are out to ruin the country and are not representing our interests.

dingy harry only needs 50 by attaching to another bill.

The VA & NJ elections have zero impact on obozo & reid - they will pressure & threaten any 'rat who is leaning to oppose. It's the chicago/alinsky way.

Dark days ahead until we REALLY take back America from these communists.
