I have to agree with this article saying that a defeat on ObamaCare would be a terrible blow to Obama's personal mythology and might just devastate him personally.
Should he squeak it out, Obama’s “victory” would come with a heavy price. Gone is the image of a policy sophisticate (try watching that Bret Baier interview a few times without wincing). Gone is the “moderate” moniker. And gone is the notion that he’d usher in a new era of less contentious and less corrupt politics. (It’s a new era, perhaps, but hardly a better one.) There is no mistaking now the depth of the campaign deception. The public has figured out what he is all about. And increasingly, they dislike what they see.
I have to agree with this as well. A "victory" would be Pyrrhic as well because he expended all of his goodwill and has antagonized a wide swath of the country. The kick-backs and dirty dealing in ObamaCare are staggering and the whole sordid business will see a lot of Dems out on their asses. At least he will get his "historic victory" but the cost is everything else he would have wanted to do as President.
