Health Care and Obama

Will Obama take a hit in the 2010 elections?  Maybe.  Remember, he was elected largely from engaging young, motivated voters, and getting them to the polls.

Obama is staking his immediate political future on passing health care.  It’s an important issue, just not that important for the 18-30 year olds.  It doesn’t engage them.  Health care does, however, engage the status quo, and even though Health care reform seems like it should be wildly popular with those of a more older persuasion, it doesn’t seem to be THE issue for them.  And all of a sudden, 2010 is in play for the Republicans.
