" Twenty tan and what Democrats can be expected. To happen and you were just saying -- it's going to be --"
" Kennedy. Rough ride for Democrats and -- and we're getting ready and you know I would say. There -- probably forty seats that are. Gonna have to be fought for at least forty and in the house and another ten. And -- it didn't take the good news at ten in the Senate the good news is that good number of those seats where we're hoping for. Civil war break out between the conservatives and the GOP right and and that will be you know like Crist and rubio. I think is going to be a bloodbath in Florida and -- you would know more about Florida politics. I just think that anywhere don't see that this is about as of about what here's what all -- health care plan that's. For 2010 I don't know that health -- will play. I think you know I am well yeah it will -- to balance itself out because they beat the commercials will move. Will balance each other out. You're against health care if you years you know it that you can thank -- for this conference for people who --"
" And that the money and the fact that everybody you know sort of like. Putting putting that stopping with Obama agenda was stopped health care because of economic -- package. And it's really been means staying at the whole both I think socially and economically about what is going on in this country people. Either feel very strongly one -- and other I think that it is cause. Obviously a rift and and you know the very creative but Pelosi. And a lot of compromises for her to have the different caucuses and the different. Groups to make this go through that obviously the sun is really hard time since the Senate health care is an important why pay apple -- that's gonna."
" I think it's extremely important any Obama says that he founded president on -- Harry Reid needs help can't you have to leave his -- I think the Democrats have helped Arafat will be healthy and and I mean that get them in the political -- they need. I think I felt that in election I think it it how very unit that the more mild --"
" A Democrat but it. It will be the Democrat yes that's what I think any of them passes yeah -- for Democrats and a lot of conservatives are saying that can be bad for Democrats because people are so scared about. Costs but I just don't I think I do -- effort in -- I think if it goes down it's a problem for Obama because he loses ladies that -- yeah."
" It but didn't the problem -- that I think with the health -- issue right today is when you look at the polls. It's split 30%. 30% thirty priest of 30% of the -- day."
" And I understand what we -- saying now it's saying I'm out on us I -- since we put those up for them the most recent -- all on health care that people like that's really interesting it's an issue what has he won't 2000. If the economy on planet beyond the economy. Make a mean. -- and -- the attention span isn't long enough."
" Using yeah. Yeah I think it may argue that it. You know it might work against Obama in the sense that it was a distraction. From -- People feeling like he was focusing on jobs and those kind of things I really yeah I think that. I think that success begets success and he can successfully get this through. That everything. Use thing for president to get done to get health care passed and and and -- as well as unpopular as far as the money because will be implemented Lofton and it's -- and the war the minute that passes if it passes on people trying to convince people this is good for you of the sabathia and let's face it it's gonna be so watered down. That's really not gonna be that -- call it's gonna be an accomplice legislative accomplishment but it's not going to be this radical. It reform that I think when they -- it's still doing it when it happens because the later it happens in the warrant to tune into the next year I think that is so much harder for Democrats out there I can't read that. Plan for raping and I know -- in Portland is that the that the polish -- at the bill it if you supported that perhaps nothing but love is another this event though I was looking bar I was like -- as one that. That showed that I think -- a question. Do you -- Think this is gonna make your health care better or worse and that's what you're basically just said. But if you add that together the that we get the number that the act together -- not don't really know and you know you no -- yes it's -- I -- I can't do without the numbers. It actually ends up being more I'm Obama favors conservatives are charged kinda spinach that it's against -- I -- our look at the numbers yet another clip from what I found on MSM just saying that today that says that we have found -- seen them up today it's just. It's just the question what the answer to tell you also think that changes week -- what fat. OK I -- at. Yeah I am I can't see what the numbers are don't think it changes week by week actually really the timing of -- that's what Obama was saying today -- you know about getting. I think it's interesting in the brain Bill Clinton not because it just seems like -- does that. Reliance on my lot I think but I didn't know you think this is you know somebody who works in politics that. When presidents. Do something successful. People like it. Often even when they don't like thinking that they did get -- we'll ask some getting done after nobody people opposed NAFTA or didn't care about it but when Bill Clinton passed it. There was a sense that something great just happen and then they like it and then I don't know what you picked by the."
" Why did -- I think there's real desire that lets get this over. 10 -- we want it over with this year and I think that's also gonna push the Senate because they don't wanna take it into that next year's political."
" They -- a lot of obstacles right now I mean I don't think it can possibly happen by the issue because it just. I just do you think that when the wheels innocent way and I think Harry Reid has the will and even though I'm in my clinic at -- conference. I doubt that even a bit when it does if it does get their conference you're going to have no funding for abort and I doubt you're I doubt you're going public option if you -- with -- very mild very weak public option. It's going to be a very moderate bill which I think he's I don't support it I can go back average American would support it by the would be good."
" You know it it was still an L of the five bills all of the five -- at the minimum. You're going to ensure -- 25 million people. 25 million people will get -- as a result of whatever it goes through and that's it that's but that's as good as them."
" Carlos through you hasn't been -- yeah I I'll and they I can't I can't Republicans have overplayed their hands on health care bill because they think the idea that it's gonna like -- actually take away our freedom and our liberty and all these horrible things are gonna happen. Since my house yeah it's clear outside Atlanta look at that it's -- like Democrats don't claim about -- let us what it what that but what the conservatives have been arguing this doomsday. Scenario over -- health care bill was like you said is gonna and that really need and we are very sorry about audacity and that's likely isn't the isn't going to is just not gonna happen to good."
" House bill that's what I I don't I'm a moderate belt air I think I'll Bel Air they think they're going -- night that the American. -- 297 million Americans. -- would -- 968. Record one -- there. And they and they say and what about the doctor they're going to quit and unhappy but that's scary that air buying. You -- cute yeah."
" Do your homework the hit -- yes I mean I just that I think that it really depends on and on what comes out at the end that. But I mean I don't know what to say. -- and I don't I don't know. Because I don't break out and doctors -- that's what and they reported seeing at CNN and MSNBC -- author women and fall I think it's."
" I think he can come up with any -- you like kind of you know and I don't. I don't know that 40000 doctors -- going to be able to find a different line of yeah now anyway selling -- in there -- so many insurance companies. With so many dog jobs for for Andy's so you know I. But other than I can think."
" That the focus really is gonna be more not on the the Republicans but -- on the Democrats and how they're gonna work out. Getting these 67. You know votes because and it."
" Remember -- voters don't care about process and you know I watching us -- our very anymore and they underestimated. That you're back Clinton making edited and I think that they I think that they are looking at night on my dad had been hoping and they're hoping to peel off. I think they have their eyes -- three Republicans you know that they're hoping to get. Try to to try to peel off and just to keep to keep their coalition together as much as they can. I don't know what will happen on the abortion paying my sense is that actually it will have to stand in order to keep I don't I don't feel that -- what do you think the company."
" Out I think it'll happen and I I don't know about a -- president. -- civilians fleeing. I can happen is Harry Reid Harry Reid has. Is gonna have a tough fight that he will win. And back get back in Nevada and you know it'll be a hell of a battle. It's -- Harry Reid can raise money into the battle people --"
" I think -- you know I don't do that like I played -- I don't think it -- might come don't like this don't thank on the spirit are an outside I think -- just you know that's me saying -- don't. I think that by the end of this year why I don't know I couldn't do that I didn't really want to do it that you get it now they have to get -- quality and the Internet. The -- options no on except. Option that's going to be at -- long that probably will get the public -- probably end up being trigger heart some sort of opt out or opt in whatever it's not gonna and that means the same thing but some sort of bill that's gonna happen like it. You know I mean. Yeah I -- the of the fact that -- got through the house is yet. I mean in solidly for Clinton was willing to do to get that bill -- You know it's not like she's really willing to have. Very influential numbers in her pocket to get -- Milton said they're gonna get they know they need to do this and then. You know that it doesn't mean I'm not saying it definitely well I'm saying that I it can yes no reason they can't wait --"
" Often -- you don't read have to get the pump up public option out any clothes he didn't. There's I think a lot more weighing on the Senate elephant much tougher battle also not at the end let's -- in the public option through let's make it you bargain that this. I think -- is that much tougher I I can email -- I don't I don't want him I think that ignoring him -- for some reason. You know it's not coming."
" I mean isn't it but felt -- general consensus do you think that that it was easy to get to the house and the Senate and now. A paid for instance in the boot from the -- yeah that it would be dead in the water the way it arrived. Mean obviously that's been -- constant but. Don't you fight in general. From both sides this and it has set it it's a topic tougher fight in the Senate and especially. I."
" Yeah he went -- big -- wanna come to a compromise I think they wanna get a bill through I want I think both sides of the house. All the senators want to be able to go home and say. We've worked it out we did what we were supposed to do we all acknowledge there was a problem with health care. It's not perfect what we did but we did it I think both sides wanna be able to go back to their constituents and and I think we we made it work because right you know right now that the -- Yeah -- on the the polls on how congress works are down around twenty."
" It doesn't doesn't want to ask that if the worst in in the last two decades but you know marriage it can't get there are -- narrow majority but it's a majority in the Senate and the barely I mean just -- with Lieberman but that in the they can get snow to go with them. Democrats know that if this goes down. There's room. Right I mean that you think. You meaning to ask him but he hasn't -- It's nothing because down at. I think I mean I'm -- horrible loss for the -- and I think that's. Yeah I mean it's catastrophic but they're gonna do everything they can't."
" Except for. And when they have to go back there -- I mean I think that really what they're saying about the timing you write and would be so much better I think that could be this year. For the Democrats but if it gets into. Next year. You don't -- and I was getting very."
