My first opinion was that it doesn't matter, that it's being hyped by the Right as the first glimmer of hope in a long time but still won't stop the Dems. The seat was lost because it was blatant nepotism with a weak candidate.
Then as I sat and thought about it, it's influence is only secondary. The Blue Dogs and Dems in more center-isle are probably eying this with discomfort. As we all know, unfortunately, a politician's first job requirement is to keep his/her job. The simple numerical number means nothing to Health Care, but it might just scare the politicians in reducing their open support of the bill.
