#2 The problem now for the elected left is how to back off from support for socialized medicine (in order to stay in office) without pissing off their base so much that they either don't show up in the next election cycle or nominate leftist newbies who can knock them out of their cushy positions.

Of course, some problems have no solution.

#3 Two of my wife's co-workers (teachers here in MA) admitted to her yesterday that they could not vote for a "republican"......SO THEY STAYED HOME!

#8 I would love to hear what really happened in that closed door meeting. Must have been some real agonizing. Think somebody will ever write a book about it?
