Nancy Pelosi and David Axelrod: "You'll eat what we serve you"
Abandoning the health care overhaul is not an option, the top White House political adviser said Wednesday, after President Barack Obama's signature issue took a devastating hit with the Democratic loss of a Massachusetts Senate seat.

Obama adviser David Axelrod said administration officials will take into account the message voters delivered Tuesday in electing Republican Scott Brown — and handing the GOP power to block the Democratic agenda. But he declined to go farther.

...

Pelosi said Wednesday that Democrats have gotten the message from Massachusetts voters — and it isn't to drop health care. "We heard, we will heed, we will move forward with their considerations in mind, but we will move forward" on health care, she said...

"Massachusetts has health care. ... The rest of the country would like to have that too," said Pelosi. "So we don't say a state that already has health care should determine whether the rest of the country should."

And no, I do not want RomneyCare imposed on my state. I want something progressive, instead.
