USA Today: Reports on the news last night that the US Senate Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid has stated that health reform might have to wait till next year. Lets see how the 09 off year election will effect the Blue Dog Democrats in the House and Democratic Senators from conservative states. The Democrats have been through this nightmare before, at the time it was with Bill Clinton in the White House and it was Hillary Care, the health care reform of Hillary Clinton also failed but it also lead to the Republicans taking over the House and Senate, the Obama West Wing has enough former Clinton aides working there to know what a nightmare that can be for an administration, thus expect health care to get a major scale back, the Democrats will want Republican cover, thus the public option will be a political dodo, lets see if the Democrats have learned the lessons of the past, or will they go over the political cliff with Obama and the liberal leadership in Congress.
