Brainwrap Back from the Detroit Zoo

++Charles Gaba took a day off to visit the Detroit Zoo with his kids but is back in the saddle for the final numbers on Obamacare tomorrow.

++He has narrowed his final prediction to 7.75-7.85million for the exchanges,5.23-7.29 million for Medicaid-CHIPS expansion,1.6-3.1 for sub26ers, and another 7.15-9.78 million for the individual purchases. The Medicaid expanses will continue growing and use of the exchanges will continue for those is unique circumstances. That's a lot of numbers.

++There has been some back and forth over Kathleen Sebelius' resignation. She forthrightly said it wasn't feasible for her to stay longer than the first enrollment period.

++In New Hampshire,all the Republican leaders met to discuss this year's campaign. It was repeal Obamacare all the time--24-7. Otherwise, it was a meeting of people confident bucks will by them the elections.

++South Carolina Republican Senator Scott decided to get the first shot across the bow asking whether Sebelius' replacement would serve Obama or the American people.

++For the GOP's base,Obamacare is still a hot button but polling shows that the average Republican feels "meh" about it.
