So the battle line is drawn after this SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare. No doubt this will be at least a major campaign issue if not the central point the entire presidential election with the whole election revolving around it.
Romney is the Lock for the Republican nomination and Obama is the Lock for the Democratic nomination even though neither are the "Official" candidates until after the conventions.
It's going to boil down to "Obamacare vs Repeal".
If Obama gets re-elected?...then we can count on Obamacare being implemented virtually as it stands. Even if a majority of Republicans take over both houses it will be very difficult if not impossible to repeal with a Pro-Obamacare President.
If Romney wins? He can issue executive orders immediately to wound it deeply, but it will still be up to congress to drive the stake through it's heart. That will only happen with a majority congress that is anti-Obamacare and that will mean a Republican Majority in both houses and may even require some Democrats signing on to kill the Act and a president who is willing to kill it.
You really have to assume that the only viable vote against Obamacare is now going to be Romney, he'll be forced into repealing it, even if he wasn't fully in favor of doing so prior to this SCOTUS decision, he will be forced into doing it now, it'll be central to his campaign and it could not be avoided or danced around.
For you "third party" and Ron Paul supporters, has this made you decide to vote for Romney to kill Obamacare or to vote for Obama to save Obamacare?
It's well known that I regularly trash Ron Paul and his supporters so I am certainly not biased in a positive manner concerning anything RP, but I think we all could safely say that Ron Paul is not only dead against Obamacare but would consider it being repealed a very important goal of any President. Even if he would likely be hampered in doing so himself due to his rigid ideology, I do not think anyone could say he is anti-repeal.
Soooo....has this ruling changed anyones position as to who they will vote for come this November?
