“Clearly, opposition to the bill is greater than support. But I also want to point out that we’ve asked a different question than a simple approve or disapprove of the bill. Some have asked the question in this way, but we’ve asked whether people are satisfied or unsatisfied with the bill. In some ways, it’s a similar measure, but it is certainly possible to be “somewhat dissatisfied” and yet still approve of the bill. Obama and the Democrats are not going to get many votes from the 46% who are very dissatisfied with the bill, but they still have room to rebuild the coalitions that elected them in 2008.” -John Zogby

They will need to be magnanimous in victory, patient in their educational campaign, open to revising the law in a bipartisan way, and sparing in their moralizing and smugness, and not rub the salt in Republican wounds. Even more critical is for Republican leaders to adamantly denounce their own lunatic fringe who are throwing rocks through the doors and windows of Democratic officials.
