A handful of moderate Senate Democrats are looking for ways to roll back the highly contentious individual mandate -- the pillar of President Barack Obama's health care law -- a sign that red-state senators are prepared to assert their independence ahead of the 2012 elections. They haven't decided whether to propose legislation, but any effort by moderate Democrats that takes aim at the individual mandate could embarrass Obama and embolden Republicans who are still maneuvering to take down the health care law.
Didn't they already have their chance?
The Mayans were right that 2012 would be the end of the world. For the Democrats.
