"On the fiftieth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....
...Fifty new knees a'quaking..."
Fifty new sets of knees, that is.
With a House health care bill to be voted on over the weekend, there may not be time for the vote yesterday to be analyzed, but as we see it, on Tuesday morning, there were forty knees quaking in the Democrat Party already. This morning there were an additional thirty Dem's ...and twenty more Republican's knees.
Never underestimate the power of NY-23 and Doug Hoffman. Our belief here is that the Scozzafava babe was the one sure "Aye" vote to health care reform and that was why the Dem's prevailed upon the media to prevail upon the GOP...etc. A plant, all directed toward that one vote.
The Democrat-winner (our opinion) will want to stay on and get re-elected in twelve months, so my guess he already possess one of these sets of quaking knees. He's 50-50 at best on health care since he knows he will in all likelihood meet Hoffman again a year from now, and then, the Ft Drum absentee votes will be his rather than the Whatzername with an (R) next to her name.
The times, they are a'changin'....
