Paul Revere is riding steedily across the states of affronted Republican governors.Even as Mr. Obama was handily re-elected to a second term this month, Republicans won their 30th governor’s seat. Now, many of the same governors who tried and failed to block the president’s health care law in court are being charged with putting it into place. This week, as they gathered here for a meeting of the Republican Governors Association, they sought and won an extension of a Friday deadline to begin to decide how they will comply with the law.
Will they abide by the law or throw themselves into Boston Harbour?
