Senior Republicans showed little new willingness to collaborate with the Democrats. Asked where he might be willing to work across the aisle, the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, offered praise for Mr. Obama’s strategy in Afghanistan but not a single example on domestic policy.
Mr. McConnell was asked if the health care bill was dead. “I sure hope so,” he said.
So, there it is. People are satisfied with the health care system that is trending upwards in costs and downwards in enrollment numbers?
And if you were thinking that the Democrats would be playing ball with the Republicans now, it seems that the Republicans aren't stepping on the field until they have the majority again. So, there you go.
(Admittedly, the next paragraph is Susan Collins talking about bipartisanship. I'm not convinced she means it, so I did not include it.)
