Is Health Care the Bill that Democrats Are Willing to Lose Their Seats Over?

Over on the home page, I offer a counterintiutive thought: “Many congressional Democrats, told that passage of the sweeping health-care legislation will cost them their seats, may find the choice a harder decision than many observers think. Yes, no one should doubt a politician’s instinct for self-preservation. But it’s quite possible that long-serving Democrats might want to enact a sweeping social change instead of taking the safe route.”
