Outside the GOP base, the country will move on re: HCR

I can feel it happening already.

My bet is that this whole thing will have virtually no impact on the election.

Thoughts?

Media can do a lot by what they don't cover. For example...not covering the latest on Wall Street huge losses has rendered it almost non-existent.
