When
the Democrats start giving you advice about how to win elections then you know

President Obama is in a
political free fall. Democrats up for reelection in 2014 are furiously trying
to get out from under the Affordable Care Act’s problems. Independent
handicappers are predicting doom and gloom at the ballot box for the party next
November.
In short, everything is
coming up Republicans lately. But the GOP would be making a big mistake if it
assumed that the problems with Obamacare were a panacea for all that ails the

In the view of
the Democrats, if the Republicans really, really want to take advantage of the
“stumble” on Obamacare they need to act on a lot of other stuff. We need to go
after tax reform, and ENDA, and the Holy Grail: Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
The idea seems to be that now that the GOP is on the

ensure electoral success is to stop talking about that issue and move on to
other issues where the GOP Caucus has rather dramatic fault lines or issues
