The Sheep Speak

Speaker John Boehner says losing the 40-year Republican stronghold of NY-26 was more about third party candidates and a not so good GOP candidate than about Medicare.

That's fine. He may be correct. I don't doubt at all the third party candidate helped the Democrats. Like I said yesterday, anyone who says this one special election in NY is a bellwether is foolish.  Given that the Senate GOP voted to end Medicare yesterday, I also don't doubt Republicans view losing NY-26 as a small anomaly.  If they thought otherwise they had ample opportunity yesterday to not vote in favor of abolishing Medicare.

I'm perfectly content going into an election year with Republicans thinking privatizing Medicare isn't a big electoral issue.
