There is considerable anger at the Democrats ineffectual
administration, but you make a big mistake if you think that translates
to happiness with Republicans. It doesn't.



Whooo boy.... Denial is more than just a river But you just keep
thinking that, hopefully the democrats won't learn anything from this
and will continue trying to steal as much money from us as possible
until November...


Oh no, it's a wake up call that the Democrats ignore at their peril, and
yes, there are lessons to be learned. Now, while you are all giddy, let
me know the lessons you learned from New York 23?

It has been a long time since Massachusetts has elected a Republican
Senator. All the way back to the late 1960s, when they elected Edward
Brooke, IIRC. New York, 23, *had* been Republican, however, since the
1800s. Again, lessons learned?



I think the teabaggets are going to give Brown a pass on his less than
perfect rightwing credentials for at least a while. The question is, is he
electable in the next election, which is only 35 weeks (or so) away. I doubt
it.

I'm more concerned about the recent Supreme Court decision to relax the
limits on corporate and union campaign contributions. This does not help the
continued feeding frenzy in DC.
