I wasn't commenting on the value of SCHIP or on the structure of the program, although I would disagree that SCHIP is "ill thought out." It's no better or worse than Medicare Part D.
All I was saying is that if they were going to make a stand on something, this probably wasn't the best choice from a PR standpoint. It's just another nail in the Repub coffin. They haven't a snowball's chance in hell of retaining a meaningful voice in government after the elections.
