Quote of the Day
“There is something Orwellian about the GOP leadership giving political advice to Democrats.”
— White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, quoted by Mike Allen, who notes, “If GOP leaders are so confident health reform is a political plus, why do they keep offering Dems political advice?”
March of Folly for Democrats?
Democratic pollsters Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen write in the Washington Post that their party’s “blind persistence in the face of reality” on the health care reform bill “threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November.”
“First, the battle for public opinion has been lost. Comprehensive health care has been lost. If it fails, as appears possible, Democrats will face the brunt of the electorate’s reaction. If it passes, however, Democrats will face a far greater calamitous reaction at the polls. Wishing, praying or pretending will not change these outcomes.”
