Actually, its greatest point of vulnerability will be the 2012 election, since much of it doesn't take effect until 2013. The mandates that will drive up costs will take effect before then--young people will pay much more since premiums will be equalized for all age groups and private companies will have to cover even sick people.

I think it's a damned good point... My first thought was: "Damn!" But it fails to consider several important factors. For starters, the Dems actually picked up a seat in the house in last weeks elections. Also, it's unlikely that the GOP will experience a groundswell of support between now and then... They don't have an ACORN... they don't have ANYBODY to lead them.... Romney? Huckabee? Newt? Palin? C'mon... It's not likely that ANY of their folks are going to garner very much support... and it's almost impossible to imagine a scenario where they could come up with anybody that would rally voters the way Obama did. The dems may lose a few seats, but they'll still hold a pretty solid majority and as such there's virtually no chance of them repealing any HCR that may exist by then.
