The article makes the Democrats look capable, competent, and in control- not the impression we have had the last year. But the media loves a winner, and if they manage to finish the job, in the face of zero help from the Republicans, the media is going to be filled with positive stories about the Democrats and Obama finally achieving something close to what they have been after for decades. Hell, Sarah Palin was treated like the second coming of Christ for weeks in 2008, and all she did was read what someone else wrote for her at the NRC.Absolutely. Because if the Dems don't, the Village story for the rest of this year will be "How come the incompetent, feckless, wimpy, stupid Losercrats couldn't pass the health care bill?"
If the Democrats pass this bill, their electoral chances will be far better than they are now. They have the control to write the media narrative. So pass the damned bill.
P.S. The Village will not reward Dems that vote against the health bill as sensible centrists. They'll be the first ones on the Village "Why Dems are losers!" articles.
