The GOP ignores the obvious...
I think that's interesting as a comparison.
The thing about Schiavo was that it did not happen in a vacuum. Shortly after freaking out over a feeding tub in Florida, the GOP tried to privatize Social Security, and the Democrats put up a good fight to defend it.
A few months after that: Katrina.
So, while I do think that the polling is pretty clear that Walker has boxed himself into an ideological corner from which there is no retreat - just like theo-cons in the Schiavo case - there will need to be one more glaring example of the GOP attacking the middle class before we can definitively claim that the GOP is headed for a fall.
The Budget Battle would seem to be a natural.
The problem is that Obama is more concerned with having a budget than having a political fight. No Drama Obama wants to do the people's business and "change the tone" and all that. But the GOP's proposed cuts are ruinous and cruel. And if a President whom 75% of Americans say they like steps up and defends the middle class, that would seem to reinforce his re-election.
