Jolly had abso-fucking-lutely nothing to say about healthcare reform except that the GOP had ways to make it better without government intervention. BFD. The GOP has no plan whatsoever, and they've had 4 years to come up with one. (yaaawwwwn......)
"Just how much of a bellwether was the special election in FL-13? If theres one solid prediction to make in a special election, its that the winning side will call it a bellwether and the losing side will insist its not. In this case, though, denial will be difficult to support from Democrats, who poured $5.4 million into Alex Sinks campaign, only to see her lose to David Jolly, a candidate the broad consensus called flawed.
The problem for Democrats will be that ObamaCare literally impacts everyone, and overwhelmingly in bad ways by making insurance and health care more expensive, and doctors less willing to take new patients.
....the district should have been one of the Democratic Partys most winnable targets. Of the 37 GOP-held seats that the Cook Political Report ranks as the most vulnerable to Democratic takeover, only 11 are more Democratic-friendly than Floridas 13th. The district has just a narrow GOP registration edge.
When the Democrats look at their playing field, they dont have too many better seats to target. They dont have too much of a prayer for winning the majority.
Rather than moving to the center, Jolly pushed to the right, painting himself as a foe of President Barack Obama and his Affordable Care Act and presenting Sink as a staunch ally."
