Health Care Bill Passes - Plan B

Above the door leading out of the locker room in my high school was this sign: Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win. I may have the phrases flip flopped in the sentence, but the point is if you quit, you'll never ever win. It's impossible because you don't cross the finish line.
