Re: Massachusetts Senate Race
Well, hearing Democrats speaking after the election and this morning, they just don't get it. They're blaming the loss on a bad candidate. Bad candidates have a history of success in Massachusetts. Brown won because a LOT of registered Democrats (Dems outnumber Repubs 3.5:1 in MA) wanted to send a message to the President and Congress...stop with the corruption, stop with the bribes and backroom tricks, start with some transparency and START LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE! Brown did not win because he was up against a bad candidate, he won because they don't want the bad Healthcare bill and they're sick of the arrogance. President Obama and Pelosi have been talking about ways to circumvent the system to push the bad bill through regardless of the election. Lets see if they have the egotism to try now. After NJ, VA, now Massachusetts, that's three major elections that the President has tried to influence and failed, likely hurting his candidate's chances in the process.
The fall elections are not going to be pretty for the Democrat party. If they still support the bad bill and dirty tactics, they're good as dead career-wise. Still, their actions and behaviors in the past year may have already sealed their fate.
Funny how a year after the President won on "Change", it was the same campaign used against him that started the dismantling of his party's power, except the opposition has substance in their arguments.
