“Byron York analyzes the data and concludes that as an issue, health care was a loser in yesterday’s elections. Most voters didn’t rate it highly as a concern, and those who did were swamped by the vastly greater number who were worried about the economy. I think we could actually go farther than that: independents deserted the Democrats yesterday, and I think a big part of the reason was widespread alarm over the health care takeover that few voters really want.

The hypothesis that health care reform, as an issue, is not just irrelevant but poisonous is supported by these Fabrizio McLaughlin poll data. Admittedly, the questions were phrased to make a point, but the point is one that has rapidly been sinking into voters’ consciousness. For example:

Would you favor or oppose having the government create a new health insurance plan to compete with private health insurance plans if you knew you could be forced off your current health insurance and onto the government-run plan?

Total Favor 17%
Total Oppose 75%

Would you favor or oppose having the government create a new health insurance plan to compete with private health insurance plans if you knew that there was no guarantee that you could keep your current doctor?

Total Favor 20%
Total Oppose 75%

Would you favor or oppose having the government create a new health insurance plan to compete with private health insurance plans if you knew that it could limit the treatments and medications you could have access to?

Total Favor 16%
Total Oppose 80%

You get the picture. Let’s hope Congressional Democrats get the picture, too. Yesterday’s results can only help stimulate misgivings among Dems who worry that supporting the administration’s health care takeover could be political suicide”

She’s obviously manic over her decision and needs help – badly.

I’m willing to bet that “?” is pissed that pro-lfers won in NJ and VA.
