Comments on: Aftermath of the 3/21 healthcare vote in the U.S. House http://thehayride.com/2010/03/aftermath-of-the-321-healthcare-vote-in-the-u-s-house/ News And Commentary On Louisiana And National Politics Sat, 26 May 2012 19:15:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ryan Booth http://thehayride.com/2010/03/aftermath-of-the-321-healthcare-vote-in-the-u-s-house/comment-page-1/#comment-1328 Ryan Booth Tue, 23 Mar 2010 18:13:46 +0000 http://thehayride.com/?p=2095#comment-1328 So before the health care vote this weekend, you expected a 15% dropoff from Obama's 2008 vote. And now, after this event that has fired up the conservative movement and the electorate in general to oust the Democrats, you expect ... the same 15% dropoff?

This was such a partisan operation that most voters are simply going to blame "the Democrats." Independents will be turning out for GOP candidates for U.S. Senate and governor, and they are going to pull the trigger for the Republican House candidate at the same time.
