Democrats
can’t even agree whether Obamacare was the reason for their crushing loss in a
Florida special election Tuesday. Now picture how their messaging plan for
the health care law is shaping up for 2014.
Republican
lobbyist David Jolly’s victory over Democrat Alex Sink has many Democrats
privately worried and publicly split about how to talk about Obamacare.
A few
Democrats are advocating a drastic rhetorical shift to the left, by criticizing
their own party for not going far enough when it passed the law in 2010.
Other
Democrats plan to sharply criticize the Affordable Care Act when running for
re-election.
Many plan
to stick to the simple message that Obamacare is flawed and needs to be fixed
—a tactic that plainly didn’t work for Sink.
Taken
together, the Democratic Party is heading into an already tough election year
divided — instead of united — on the very issue Republicans plan to make
central to their campaigns.
