Health Care Reform Passes House! World Doesn't End!

The problem with predicting the apocalypse should your political opponents pass a bill you don't like is that if they pass it, and if the world doesn't end, you look rather foolish.

The health care reform bill is a centrist measure which concedes almost nothing to progressives. Yet Republicans bet the farm on painting it a radical socialist attack on "The best health care system in the world", a high-risk gamble they now appear all but certain to lose. November is suddenly looking a better for Democrats.
