Obama doesn't want to broach the subject in the near future for self preserving political reasons but when Baucus and McCain are both on the same side of the fence it is only a matter of time regardless of who is eventually in charge.

And I'm sure that if in one of the countless Sarah Palin threads, I posted something that was critical of Obama or Democrats in general, there would be howls of protest from the usual originator of those threads.
You could be right of course, but I'm not convinced anything involving the health care bill is "only a matter of time" at this point. I actually think there are huge portions of the program that could change significantly over the next few years. They could be changes I'm happy about, or they could be changes you are happy about, or maybe both or neither.
Just out of curiosity, if the Republicans win control of both houses of Congress and the White House in 2012, do you think they will mount a full-scale repeal campaign or not? If not....why not?
