I know a lot of people on the right are predicting that the midterms are going to suck for Obama and the Democrats. The point to obamacare being a failure as one of the main points.
Well:

The point being that in todays world we live in a fast food style age of media and politics. Now now now now now is the motto, and if something doesnt achieve success within a week its doomed as a failure.
The right really has a problem with this. Obamacare is still evolving and thus while it may still crash and burn. the signs are pointing that way that it may not in the end.
So lets pretend the right wins November but Obamacare takes off and is mostly accepted as working, and people like it. Will the GOP repeal it? i wouldnt count on it if people are saying its fine.
So then 2016 rolls around and Obamacare is humming a long quite fine. This will create a huge problem for the GOP and its party.
Of course 2016 is ways away and a lot could happen between now and then, but it can be fun to speculate as an exercise.
