Obamacare is a Done Deal

10. Watch McConnell's race. That is the Bellwether

Normally, there is practically zero chance of the leader getting knocked out. It did happen to Daschle a few years back, but that'd very unusual. McConnell "should be extraordinarily safe.

But we have a real race there. And the X factor very well could be "Obamacare". The ACA is working great in Kentucky. I think there is a very good chance that by election time, a majority of Kentuckians will personally know somebody who is much better off because of the ACA.

Grimes seems to be biding her time on this. This is wise. There is no benefit in winning the argument 12 months before the election, But about next Labor Day, this could one of her strongest arguments.

I just saw this TPM article from a couple of days ago, saying basically the same thing.

This will be very interesting. There are clearly some places where "Obamacare" won't help much. But it really could be the straw that breaks McConnell's back, and wouldn't that be sweet irony?
