Health Care and 2010

Well, healthcare passed no tort reform was in the legislation and there is also a mandate. How this will affect the mid-term elections remains unknown. American voters have very short memories and if the economy starts to pickup and jobs numbers improve the healthcare damage could be minimal. However the anti-incumbency is in full throat most famously against Senator John McCain. Former Congressman JD Hayworth who is a tea/ social conservative and anti-immigration candidate. Sarah Palin was flown in to help out her former running mate even though she is more in line with Hayworth with her Tea party ties. Also in Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio had their first primary debate. Shots were traded Crist was very aggressive in the debate and went after Rubio. This could hurt these candidates in the general election for the money needing to be spent in the primary.
