And to piggy-back on what eldano said (hope I’m not too heavy), most polls I’ve seen have said the majority of Americans want this legislation. You can talk about this being a right-center country, but I think Cooper probably saved his job with this vote.

Ryan, I think you’re wrong. The thing is that many of us democrats voted for these people BECAUSE we wanted things like significant reform in health care. Unless you’re predicting that dem voters are mad because the bill is far too watered down?

If your prediction is based on independents, or conservative voters being angry enough to get out there and vote, then maybe 70% of dems elected in traditionally republican districts would be about right.

You might want to reconsider. You’re predicting, if I read you right, that 140 seats will flip â€” I think the record is one-third of that.

By the way, are you talking the bill or Stupak?

Mr. Cooper obviously doesn’t like his job, huh?

I got $100 that says 70 percent of the congressmen who vote for this bill to pass will be replaced when they are up for election.. any takers?

“It wasnâ€™t worth torpedoing health reform over this issue, so I understand Pelosiâ€™s choice. Itâ€™s outrageous, though, that she had to make it.”

Very outrageous, indeed.
