I wouldn't be so sure.  It would be pretty easy to have Obamacare scored accurately -- recall that the D's intentionally delayed effect of the measure to push some costs outside the 10-year CBO scoring window to create the appearance of deficit reduction -- and, POOF!, the repeal shows a decrease in the deficit.  What is good for the goose, is good for the gander, after all.  The D's gamed the system to get it passed, the R's can game the system to get it repealed -- if they have the votes.  If the R's win big, repeal won't be a problem; if they don't, Obamacare  isn't going anywhere.  2012 is for all the marbles.    [/quote]

Think about what you are saying. You are saying that the law was written in such a way to get a good CBO score. The Republicans can't repeal a law that is written to get a different score. They have to repeal the existing law.

On top of all of this, the insurance companies are going to like having people required to become their customers. They need to have the mandate/tax. So, the Republicans would face lobbying from them. I expect that all of this is going to sink in shortly and Obamacare will disappear as a campaign issue in most cases. It will be trotted out in specific cases in which the Tea Party needs to be hoodwinked.
