i'm actually glad that it's rand paul that's voting against the repeal, because it's his constituents that will be hit the worst.

but, listen: i don't think that rand paul is breaking ranks. i think this is orchestrated.

once again, let us all recall that obamacare was the republican party's preferred health care plan. they don't want to get rid of it. they wrote it. it's their baby. they've just trapped themselves in a corner.

they're only going to need a second defector. who's taking bets on this? they got one guy to cite the deficit, now they need to find a "compassionate conservative" worried about people losing insurance. i don't think it will be mccain. orrin hatch, maybe?
