Democrats That Opposed Health Care Bill Win In Primaries

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Democrats were told by their leaders that any of them that opposed the health care bill was dooming themselves come election time. Regardless, the 30 Democrats that opposed the legislation that are up for reelection this year all made it through the primary process unscathed.

With the realization that opposing the health care legislation was not their doom, but their saving grace, now Mississippi Representative Gene Taylor became the first Democrat to sign a petition to repeal his party’s health care overhaul legislation.

The Democrats that did vote for Obamacare are being told not to use that fact in their campaign.
