Paul Krugman suggests that credit for the health care bill goes, in part, to the Club for Growth, as they drove Sen. Arlen Specter out of the Republican party.
There is something to that, I think. There is also something to the argument that because the Republicans chose this bill to stage a partisan fistfight, they sacrificed the chance to have any influence over the contents of the bill itself. The Republicans bet the store that the Democrats would never hang together and, as of tonight, it looks like they have lost that one.
