  Dems Wise to Flee the Coming Tsunami
  The secret to surviving, The Gambler told Kenny Rogers, is to "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run."
  It's time for her fellow Democrats to run like hell from Obamacare, says pollster Celinda Lake.
  But, if Democrats had believed the promises they made to get Obamacare passed, why won't they admit they made a terrible mistake and try sincerely to make amends?
  If it's party loyalty that keeps them out of the lifeboats, it's been a one-way street. Mr. Obama never did much for other Democrats when he was popular. Now, for those who must run for office this year, he's a pair of cement overshoes:
  • President Obama got 63 percent of the vote in San Diego in 2012. A heavily outspent Republican won the mayoral election there by 10 percentage points Feb. 11.
  • In a special election for the Virginia legislature Feb. 25 in a district Barack Obama won by 10 percentage points in 2012, the Republican got 60 percent of the vote.
  • On March 11, Ms. Sink sank in Florida's District 13.
  • Last week in a special election for a state Senate seat in California, Democrats mustered barely half the vote Mr. Obama had won in 2012.
  Obamacare signups may have exceeded the first registration goal last week, a tsunami is building. You don't have to look very far out to sea to notice it. But Democrats still huddle on the beach. Why?
