If you think they will lose them for passing health care reform, why wouldn't they have lost them already? The House and Senate already voted for and passed a health care bill (albeit two different versions). Are you suggesting some voters out there might still be willing to support Dems who voted for health care but wouldn't be if health care actually became law? That isn't very rational. They have already spent the political capital on it. May as well walk away with their purchase. Not only is it the right move politically, it is the right move legislatively.
