Despite recent court rulings that may send Obamacare back to the Supreme Court, and a CBO study that predicts health care costs to rise sharply over the next 25 years, the Washington Post has declared the controversial health care law to be virtually irrelevant as a campaign issue this fall.

Despite its disclosure that 27 percent of all ads run by Republican candidates and outside groups have focused on Obamacare, the Post's article on the Fix blog said the higher-profile races focus on livelier topics:

In races that have already gone into general-election mode, talk of Obamacare has all but evaporated as a major campaign message, as candidates sample the other issues that have a bit more spunk at this stage in the midterms: immigration, veterans affairs, government dysfunction. The list goes on and on, but Obamacare isn't really on it.

So because Republican primaries in lesser known races have focused on the health care topic, and because of an early saturation of anti-Obamacare ads, the Post concludes that Obamacare opposition discussion "has basically gone to the minor leagues this summer." Whether voters agree remains to be seen.
