A growing number of the president’s allies are worried about political fallout from glitches in the administration’s health insurance website.
Seven Senate Democrats want the White House to postpone parts of the law while contractors and the government work out kinks that have kept many consumers from signing up.
West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin is co-sponsoring a bill to delay the $95 penalty for not enrolling.
Six other Democrats up for re-election next year are asking to postpone the March 31 enrollment deadline. They are Sens. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Udall of Colorado, Tom Udall of New Mexico, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mark Begich of Alaska and Kay Hagan of North Carolina.

In other words, a majority of both the Senate and the House wants to delay Obamacare’s mandate. I’m old enough to remember when Harry Reid contended that this state of affairs should lead inevitably to a vote. “Boehner should let the House vote!” Reid insisted after the Senate passed its immigration reform bill.

“Yes, they will act. They have to,” Reid said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “This is something that the vast, vast majority of Republicans, Democrats, and independents support, and [Speaker] John Boehner should let the House vote. If the House voted it would pass overwhelmingly.”

Why is this issue any different, senator?
