I'm pretty sure the only reason Democrats strive for public office is to see how quickly they can fuck up once they're in it. And I've got to admit, they're pretty inventive.

Its not over- Brown is probably doing enough so far to win but its definitely not over. He isn't outperforming Romney 2002 so far.

If Brown wins, there will not be a HC bill. DEMs are too big of pussies to "get it done"! They will run away scared and say "we can't pass the Senate bill". The HOUSE will bitch up and the Senate just can't work fast enough.

Pretty much. The Dems had a super majority and they were already timid. Now they'll just run scared.

His will be the most humorous show to watch this year. No doubt about it. Especially come election time.

And really boston.com is working for some people? It just refreshed but all election coverage was no longer there?!?

I thought the big tidbit (thus far) is that Rasmussen had most people that decided late going towards Coakley. Should make this a close race and not the 7-8 point landslide some called for Brown.

once voter turnout came out higher then anticipated all the likely voter models that counted on lower turnout were pretty much thrown in the garbage, which was... most of them

What a difference a year can make. Not long ago some were talking about 40 year majorities, a generation of voters tied to the democratic party through Obama. Now? It's clear the democrats will lose the house in November, and a few seats in the senate. Obama's agenda has been crippled, and republicans will make sure he doesn't accomplish much going into 2012.

The dream is dead, the hope is gone, the change didn't come. Seems more and morel like Obama is truly the next Jimmy Carter. Maybe he'll do some good after he leaves office, when he no longer has to worry exclusively about checking off boxes or pleasing the corporate/banking elite.

And you jerks laughed at me. I'm telling you, hard nosed and politically savvy Clinton would have done serious damage this year (and by damage, I mean you guys would have been thrilled).

Anyway, in a two party system neither party will be dead long...and I'd worry about losing a majority in the senate too at this point. In 2000 and 2002 the left was dead for good, that barely lasted 4 years.

If you had told me 5 years ago that we'd have a black president in 2010 I would be surprised.

If you had told me 5 years ago that Ted Kennedy's seat would be held by a Republican in 2010, I wouldn't know what the hell you were talking about, but I'd be surprised if I did.

It was only a year. A year full of a republican dominated news cycle. What did you expect? People are dumb and the GOP has been playing them for centuries.

Lieberman Urges Party To Go Centrist After Mass. Election

Eager to prove that the Democratic Party left him and not the other way around, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) urged his colleagues on Tuesday to move to the "center" following a humbling Senate race in Massachusetts.

"I think the message is from the voters of Massachusetts that people are anxious about the future and they're unhappy about what's happening in Washington," said the Connecticut Independent Democrat, during an interview on Fox News. "They're anxious about the economy, the continued high unemployment. They don't like all the partisanship and deal-making here in Washington. And they're really skeptical about the health care bill."

"So this is going to be a loud message from Massachusetts and whether it's right or wrong, I was impressed again by one of the national polls I saw yesterday that said two things; one is opposition to health care reform is very large among independents, unregistered with the party voters, and Massachusetts is thought of as a blue state and it generally does vote Democratic but almost 50% of the voters are unaffiliated so they've got the liberty to..."

Brown is over preforming in areas where he needs to win. Coakely is do as expected. Not good enough.

Just like her husband did, losing a decades long year majority in the house in 1994 because he sniffed at a few "liberal" moves, right?

Yeah Obama should close 50% of the banks in this country by this spring. That'll show those banking elite who's boss.

Yup and Dems have no one to blame but themselves. Conservative Comeback in 2010 is for real.
