In order to reverse the future that I see in my crystal ball, Democrats must remobilize and engage the Health Care Reform efforts with the same intensity and effort that they gave less than a year ago to elect Obama. We cannot blame the Republicans for this impending failure. We can object to some of their tactics, but they are out there working hard. Whether its sports or business or politics, if your competition out-works and out-hustles you, you have no one to blame but yourself.
The good news is, I'm seeing movement in many different pro-Health Care Reform groups. I'm seeing the beginnings of mobilization but a lot more needs to happen. We Democrats thought that Health Care Reform was going to pass without any effort whatsoever and we were wrong. Whatever individual Democrats did during the election campaign, they have to do again now or Health Care Reform will fail. You cannot beat back a Presidential Election Level Effort with a State Legislature Election Level Effort. Democrats have 10-14 days to get mobilized and start working or this is over.
