Political Suicide or Political Strategy?

With the passage of the health care on the horizon it appears the Democratic party is committing political suicide by attempting to pass an unpopular piece of legislation.

He writes, "Many are puzzled that Democrats persist in ramming unpopular and destructive legislation down our collective throats with no apparent concern for their plummeting poll numbers. A widespread belief is that the Democrats are committing political suicide and will be swept from one or both houses of Congress with unprecedented electoral losses next November. But since Democrat politicians rarely do things that will not ultimately benefit themselves, this column asked two weeks ago, "What do they know that we don't?"
