Another theory on what could happen to Dems pushing health care

The prevailing wisdom is that they are pushing it to gain permanent control long-term over the electorate, as opposed to short term...they all fall on their swords and take the loss while Republicans win the fall elections and then won't have the stomach or will to actually reverse the monstrosity that is coming soon. Here is an alternate idea. Not sure I buy into this one. Read over at Hot Air:

When Democrats return to their districts for a health-care reform victory lap, they’ll find more than just angry peasants with pitchforks waiting for them. They’ll also face Republicans with lightsabers. I encouraged the Republicans to attend Obama’s summit meeting, and use the opportunity to engage him, in a forum that would resist media image control. They actually did it, and the only person more surprised than me is Barack Obama. The GOP is rolling into 2010 with Boston harbor tea pumping in its veins. Republican stars were born at that summit meeting: Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and a senator from Arizona with the same name as the guy whose tired campaign for President in 2008 helped put Barack Obama in the White House. Meanwhile, the Democrat leadership consists of a walking corpse from Nevada, and an openly delusional San Francisco leftist who talks like her own caricature in an editorial cartoon.
