Can't get enough of this chart

For the time being, this chart, showing Romneycare's sign-up trajectory, simply cannot be overexposed:

The other day I suggested that we stop reading polls for six months, due to political blowback from recent, and rather despairing, events. I gathered some readers misinterpreted what I was saying--poorly, I guess--which merely was that we must wait this out before declaring any lasting dire effects. For now, polling on the political landscape is abnormally distorted, and therefore needlessly depressing.  

That's not to suggest that things can't get even worse. After all, we're talking Democrats here, who possess the uncanniest ability to undercut their own wholesomeness through skin-crawling displays of abject cowardice. 

Either way, it's a long time till the smoke clears. And in politics, a half year's an eternity.

It isn't the Democrats friend. Well not all by themselves anyway. It's your more progressive elements, most of whom despise Democrats, who are working to kill this thing. I do not understand why these dummies cannot understand that you do not want retailers like Walmart and other low margin low wage industries to pay for healthcare. Those are the very people you desperately need to sign up under the insurance pools to receive Federal subsidies for health care insurance. This is not the bad thing they say it is. It is the only way to make it work.
