Before this last, demented attempt to pass healthcare, the Democrats would have lost control of the House anyway. But with it, they face the loss of a historically high number of seats — perhaps more than 80.
The final fight over healthcare boils down to a simple formulation: The People vs. Pelosi.
In district after district, the next 10 days will feature an aroused citizenry demanding a "no" vote while an ideologically motivated Speaker demands assent. The echo of this push/pull will take place in the minds of the Democratic House members. Each will ask himself whether he is really prepared to throw away his career for this vote. Is this it? Is this legislation worth the end of line?
To arouse public opinion, anti-ObamaCare groups are drilling down to the congressional district level and running ads in each swing congressman's backyard pressuring their member to vote no.
The League of American Voters is now running ads in the following districts: Baron Hill (D-Ind.), Mark Schauer (D-Mich.), Michael Arcuri (D-N.Y.), Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.), Kathy Dahlkemper (D-Pa.), Chris Carney (D-Pa.), Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.), Tom Perriello (D-Va.), Steve Kagen (D-Wis.), Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) and Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.). It will shortly start running ads in these districts: Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.), Allen Boyd (D-Fla.), Bill Owens (D-N.Y.), Jim Matheson (D-Utah), Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) and Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

Now this is a ringing endorsement of the single-payer, government-run health care system (Not).
