RE:”I am personally convinced that the delay of Obamacare is a bad idea for reasons many other FReepers have delineated elsewhere. “

Is it worse than if House GOP was to fold completely and pass Reid CR? (personally I think a cave like that would demoralize Dems, so they wont do it)

If not a one year complete delay would be a significant victory for Rs. Delay one year for a 6 week CR.

No, a complete fold would be awful in addition to being demoralizing (for the GOP's continuance as an entity anyway).

But I think it wasn't an either or situation. The delay was offered as a fig leaf to avoid the shutdown and it got rejected even before the vote. So the HOR tried to demonstrate it was being reasonable. But that is a waste of time with this stonewalling Senate and Prez. See, the SSM gives them no credit anyway. And so goes the low info voter.

My strategic concern is that there is a danger from the delay itself. It is a good thing that so many FReepers see that already.

Please expand on this. How would it demoralize Dems? I like the sound of it already.
