Expect a White-Knuckle Election in 2010

I have visited with a number of House Democrats this week and their anxiety toward the 2010 elections is really noticeable.

I asked a leading Democratic House member his prognosis on health care. He said if it passes it will be “by the skin of its teeth,” and he feared the cost of health care could sink the party in 2010.

In almost every conversation I have with congressional members, it appears all are preparing themselves for a white-knuckle election next year.
