A tipping point ?

I've been waiting for Democratic politicians running for re-election to the House or Senate to embrace the Affordable Care Act and all the benefits it is bringing to people.

The Republicans did such a good job of demonizing "Obamacare" and the president himself that those in tight races in conservative districts have shied away.

Until now.   Incumbent Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark) has taken the plunge . . . .   well, more like stuck a toe in.   But he is running an ad featuring health care insurance and his vote to reform it.   He doesn't mention the ACA or Obamacare.

But it is a first step.   And we still have about 75 days until the election.
