If the Supreme Court decides the mandate is unConstitutional

[vi5]

6. Yes, let's think about this.......

If this is struck down the options are pretty much going to be:

1) Obama and the Democratic party going all in and really doubling their effort and fight for a more liberal and universal health care set up in this country. They use this to embolden their fight, hire the best consultants and marketing campaign people to roll out and educate the public on why Healthcare reform, and specifically universal health care is so important to everyone.

Or
2) The other option is that they internalize the defeat, internalize what everyone said about this, and run cowering as far away from healthcare reform as possible and have the only lesson they take away from this being that the country really is conservative and that they really need to start governing more conservatively and that the people really don't want healthcare reform and instead focus more on bipartisanship. Maybe they'll even try harder to come up with a good medicare compromise as well.

Based on the past couple of years, based on any number of things we've witnessed and heard about how the current leaders and members of the Democratic party roll, what do you really think is the more likely outcome of those two possibilities?
