Lots of Polls but No News

++Today was a huge poll dump. If I see anything,I'll post it.

++Leave it to Karl Rove. Yes,the GOP avoided Obamacare for the most part in the campaign,but if they win they will declare it as part of their mandate to destroy it. The New York Times published a review of one year of Obamacare. Did it live up to the expectations. By and large yes but they emphasized that it create a rightwing backlash. I would say the resistance to universal healthcare was baked into the cake of conservatism from the beginning. Yes,the GOP is committed to strip millions from having the health insurance they currently enjoy. Watch very nasty moves if the GOP takes the Senate.

++Oh yes,Obamacare happens to be the best deficit reduction measure , better than the Ryan Budget or the Catfood Commission. We are on path to shave $5 trillion off the national debt by 2020--which is tomorrow in the economic life.

++Slow day for blogging because all our town is being quarantined because the Ebola plague is sweeping northern Virginia. Just kidding. What are we up to the lonely death in Dallas and nothing more.
