Will Obama's Net Neutrality Gambit Work?

President Barack Obama isn't waiting to see how a new Republican Senate majority will govern. He's taking the fight to them by seizing on issues that are political winners in the wake of a wave of electoral losses last week.

The most recent example came Monday when Obama infuriated Republicans (and at least one of top fundraiser) by calling on the FCC to support net neutrality, taking a strong position that comes with little political risk. Many in his party support it, it gives him some common ground with Silicon Valley and puts him on the opposite side of Comcast, one of America's least favorite cable companies, whose customer service problems were crystallized in July by a recording of a call-center employee refusing a request to disconnect service.
