I wrote last July in, "Health care bill is defining the future" that health-care reform would lead to the day when
Dems in Congress ... will enjoy the freedom of running away from the White House, even to the point that in some tossup seats next year, we'll see some Dems running against Obama as much as their Republican opponents.
Jennifer Rubin at Commentary indicates that the day has arrived: "Run away!"
Obama keeps telling his fellow Democrats that ObamaCare will cure what ails them. But the facts — polls and the behavior of candidates – tell us otherwise. As this reports explains (h/t Mark Hemingway): “Representative John Boccieri, Democrat of Ohio, whose vote on major health care legislation could be crucial to the outcome, will not be attending President Obama’s health care rally on Monday in Strongsville, Ohio, not far from Mr. Boccieri’s own district, a spokeswoman said.” We’ve seen this before, as Democrats in swing states steer clear of Obama. And given the polling data in Ohio, it isn’t surprising that a Democrat would want to evade the president.The HCR vote is being taken now and some Dem Congressmen are voting with their feet. And any excuse to run the Holy Grail clip that Jennifer refers to is good enough.
