November 14th, 2013 6:47 AM

At NewsBusters, we often document Politico's liberal tilt. For example, a couple of years ago I wrote an item highlighting the fact that all six stories in that day's Politico's "Daily Digest" were Dem-friendly.

So it is a mark of just how deep the Obamacare disaster is for Dems that four of the five items in today's "Daily Digest" focus on Obamacare's catastrophic debut and its political implications.  See the stories after the jump.



Here are headlines from today's "Daily Digest."  If you're a Dem, read 'em and weep.

GOP plan: Don't blow it
