Rasmussen has the numbers that doom O-care

"...47% would prefer to avoid the tax hike and do without reform. Forty-one percent (41%) take the opposite view."

"The opposition is stronger when asked about a choice between health care reform that would require changing existing health insurance coverage or no health care reform and no change from current coverage. In that case, voters oppose reform by a 54% to 32% margin."

"Also, by a 50% to 35% margin, Americans oppose the creation of a government insurance company to compete with private insurers."

Finally, folks don't, repeat don't want tax hikes and, in this case: "Surveys released at the end of this past week show that 78% believe the passage of health care reform is likely to mean middle-class tax hikes."

Me: Obama and Democrats in safely leftwing districts won't care, but everyone else in Washington? They ain't gonna touch this political-career-ender!
