As far as the rhetoric about jamming this bill through congress, well, Barack Obama was elected with a mandate and he and the Democrats delivered on the promise of healthcare for all Americans.

If you're looking for a repeat of the mid-terms you just might be misinterpreting the electorate in 2012; it will be a more moderate, more diverse, and young voting bloc. Even if unemployment drops modestly, the president will be hard to unseat and we're already starting to see a shift in his favorables.

Sarah Palin has gone into complete meltdown mode. Tim Pawlenty, Mike Huckabee, Haley Barbour and, God forbid, Newt Gingrich will just be warm bodies on the stage with old GOP talking points and no new ideas to make us competitive globally. And that pretty much leaves Mitt Romney explaining to the Tea Party why he likes universal healthcare, his signature piece of legislation as governor of Mass, and why he supported bailing out the auto industry. So much for socialism, I guess.

Really last pole I saw had him now under 50%. Not sure why the left keeps saying Sarah Palin is our front runner because that not true at all. Newt Gingrich is smater then anyone in the Whitehouse now or maybe running in 2012.
