not to worry. Every republican opponent will have their say. This November will be a bloodbath for the Dem's.

Doubtful. The Party of No vs. the Party of Distribution. As usual, it will all come down to who pissed of the Independents most in the 3-6 months prior to the election... well, that and who has the most successful smear campaign in each race.

Will the Dems lose a bunch of seats? Certainly, possibly to the point of the GOP gaining control of the House, but I don't think it will be the bloodbath that Conservatives are hoping for.

See Johnny, that "might" have worked, but the Dems political strategy failed, how? See my post on "Liars". All the repubs need to do is share the letter WRITTEN BY OBAMA that suggested including the Republican measure into the Bill. Since only 1 of 4 was included, it is a clear example of one party rule, which people are generally against.

You assume that all voters are intelligent and pay a fair amount of attention to what's actually going on in politics. Pointing at a statement leading up to a HC vote and saying "See, we told you" isn't going to sway a large number of people. Also, anyone who didn't think the HC Summit was a smoke-and-mirrors show for both parties is out of their mind.

The largest benefit to campaigning Republicans right now is that they have 6 full months to sift through the encyclopedia sized bill and develop talking points (and a smear campaign) to try and sway Independents. Most Republican and Democrat voters will drink the koolaid of their respective parties.

Just like the Massachusetts election, Independents will dictate this next election. The Dems will lose a fair number of seats (and probably the House), but I don't think it will be as drastic as some think.
