Kim Strassel: Why Health Reform Is Bad Politics - WSJ.com: "Another week, another episode of health-care drama, another round of headlines proving the end is not yet nigh. The polls are dismal, the Democratic caucus is in disarray, it is spring of 2010. Yet the ObamaCare dozer grinds on, and on, and on.
What has been driving the machine these past few painful months is the fantastical (at this point) Democratic belief that somewhere at the end of 'comprehensive' health care rests good politics. The left in particular is pushing these Democrats-must-pass-health-care-for-their-own-political-good arguments, and clearly some of President Obama's advisers buy it. In the interest of sanity, let's go through the theories.
The most popular might be termed the 'If We Build It, They Will Come' hypothesis. The White House loves this one, and has been peddling it to any Blue Dog it can coax to the Oval Office. Americans just don't understand the health bill. Democrats haven't done a good job selling it. Once it is in place, the polls will improve."
