a) They need an extra day because the website is continuing to crash in spite of the fixes (note: this is the announced reason)
b) They think lots of people who have already had twelve weeks to enroll will suddenly decide to do so on Christmas Eve
c) They want to delay announcing the bad news of how few people have enrolled until Christmas Day when hopefully nobody will be paying attentionI think c) is the major factor, but a) probably plays into it as well (and really is no less embarrassing at this point).
Under ordinary circumstances, I would say that b) was an impossibility; but given who we're talking about, Obama and his healthcare advisors, they've demonstrated that they may be delusional enough to believe it.
