What Happened?

Brian Beutler has compiled a list of probable reasons why health care reform is now on life support. It’s probably a little bit of all of them, but if I had to pick one thing it would be allowing Max Baucus to drag the damn thing out so long that everyone in the country was so appalled by the political process they couldn’t stand even thinking about it anymore. It’s a real mistake to squander public opinion. Once that’s gone, Democrats always run for the hills.

But what the hell is it about Democrats that compels them to prematurely celebrate and then take a vacation all the time? it’s proven to be a mistake over and over again.
