In a phone call from Obama, Olympia Snowe, the Senator from Maine said she
was NOT going to vote for the Senate health care plan.

NBC NIGHTLY NEWS said that this means it can not be considered a
bipartisan win for Obama.

WOW! My head is SPINning from that one! ONE Senator makes it "bipartisan"

Poor Barack. He so wanted to be the bipartisan President.

Just wait for the mid-terms next year. My bold prediction: The Democrats
will lose a lot of ground.

Regardless of what you may think about their specific policies, no
political party in a democracy can ignore the public's clamor and long
survive in power.

And the Democrats have proven themselves to be even deafer than the
Republicans were when Bush II was first elected. Remember the demise of the
"Contract with America" and of the Republicans' solid hold on Congress?
Well this is the Democrats' analog.

Hubris is eventually fatal to all those who practice it.

That would apply to a republic like the U.S.A. too.
