Things could get more complicated if the health care bill legislation is delayed until next year:

Afterwards, I shudder to think about how troublesome that cap and trade bill legislation will be. Two senators, Byrd & Rockefeller, and Lincoln and many Republicans have vowed to vote against the cap and trade. This could lead to more overextended negotiations again and again and again but this time to ensure that the Byrd & Rockefeller and Lincoln and the Blue Dogs go along.
The unemployment rate and the economy are definitely going to play a major role in next year's elections. If it goes above 10%, which is likely, the Republicans can use that to attack the Dems.
And then Obama should have to address the issues of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay at some point.
What a mess.
