Itis true that there was a third party (tea Party) candidate and it is true that he captured 9% of the vote. However the fact is that the Republican candidate ignored and hence was too late to combat the MEDISCARE tactics of the Democrats. So as we all know we learn from our mistakes. Republican candidates will have this issue with them through the 2012 elections and they must face it head on. Ryan's budget includes changes for Medicare beginning with 54 year olds. Clearly he has a very workable plan that fits with the commitment to reduce spending and hence our debt without tax increases. Republicans need to work together and have ready a game plan to present ryan's Medicare proposals against those of Obama. What Obama relies on is a 15 independent panel that makes all decisions concerning medicare which trnaslates into unsafe reduction in care the like which is occuring now in RomneyCare. So it is not so much that Democrats won in New York. It is more that the Republicans there dropped the ball
