...get past Senate (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/127779-gibbs-gop-efforts-to-repeal-healthcare-wont-get-past-senate).
That's okay. Republicans are going to make them vote on it, anyway. There are a whole passel of Democrat Senators looking ahead to 2012 with the knowledge that Obamacare thinned their ranks pretty drastically and handed the House, a majority of the Governorships, and a majority of the States' legislatures to the Republicans.
So, yeah, you make the Senate vote on repealing Obamacare. In fact, make them vote on a bunch of stuff; I saw this suggested today:
Boehner needs to prepare a long list of very short, very simple bills; each covering a single issue with broad public support. Race-neutral enforcement of civil rights laws; sanctioning 'sanctuary cities,' voter identification, force the Justice Department to implement the voter-roll cleanup provisions of HAVA, ad nauseum.
Pass them through the House and watch the Democrat Senators, staring down the barrel of the 2012 elections, decide they don't dare oppose publicly popular legislation.
It'll be fun watching Obama double-talk his way through vetoing popular, bi-partisan legislation.
