Then the website 'disaster' won't have actually been disastrous. That's the problem. CBO says 7 million. What if it comes in at 6.2? 6.6? 6.9? Then you have to go back and say, oh well, maybe the website glitches were normal glitches and the low enrollment in October was simply what would have happened even if the thing was smooth as silk.

No worries, I can already hear the insipid Obama haters' response: "Well then OBAMA should have lowered expectaaaaaations! If Obama was as smart as I am, tra la la." The predictable stupidity of the Obama haters is now just boring, as the ACA starts to really hit its benchmarks. they're exposed as the know-nothing shitheads they've always been.
