Looks Like Republicans Cut Their Own Throat With Their Behavior Last Night

Democracy Corps polled a focus group immediately after President Obama’s health care speech last night and found:
One of the most striking aspects of tonight’s speech was the large increase in people who went from “somewhat supporting” to “strongly supporting” the Obama health care plan. … This was a sharp contrast from what they saw in Republicans, whose reactions during the speech angered these voters. Instead of trying to be constructive and work with the president, the Republicans were seen as simply playing partisan politics and trying to derail the president for political reasons. Participants want change and clearly stated they will vote against people who stand in the way of a president who is doing everything he can to work with both parties and reform a broken health care system.
The wingers are playing to their base (by yelling “you lie” and blowing off Obama by playing with their Blackberries), which is what?, roughly 26% of voters but hey guys, that doesn’t win elections so please, keep it up!
