And the Critical Progressives WILL double down if Brown wins

BOSTON - JANUARY 18:  U.S. Senate republican n...
Yesterday I said the dems would not sail closer to the american wind, or tack to starboard in the event they lost today in Massachusetts which is what the polls are saying, at any rate. Massachusetts, the repubs warn, is not immune to a Richard A Daley dead/absentee vote holding the balance.


And in Politico we see those around the leader proclaim they are going to down with all flags flying i 2010 and 2012 rather than acknowledge the American will to be ruled center -> right center->left center and no more than that. Conservatives TAKE NOTE. PRO-LIFE FANATICS TAKE NOTE.


President Barack Obama plans a combative response if, as White House aides fear, Democrats lose Tuesday's special Senate election in Massachusetts, close advisers say.

"This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt," a senior administration official said. "It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard."

A defeat by Martha Coakley for the seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy would be embarrassing for the party -- and potentially debilitating, since Democrats will lose their filibuster-proof, 60-vote hold on the Senate.

A potential casualty: the health care bill that was to be the crowning achievement of the president's first year in office.

The health care backdrop has given the White House a strong incentive to strike a defiant posture


"The response will not be to do incremental things and try to salvage a few seats in the fall," a presidential adviser said. "The best political route also happens to be the boldest rhetorical route, which is to go out and fight and let the chips fall where they may. We can say, 'At least we fought for these things, and the Republicans said no.'
Fine. Good. Excellent.

It will be interesting to see what the stock market does if Brown wins and the winds change.

It will be interesting to see if more dem Congressmen and Senators suddenly are attracted to the idea of 'spending more time with their families' rather than run.

It will be interesting to see how long the MSM take to begin carping, and turn

It will be interesting to see how long until we get a 'malaise' speech from the ONE regretting that the totality of the American people are not yet ready for 'fundamental change'.


Keep the flags flying by all means. It's heartening to see dems can be every bit as stupid venal and moronic as republicans.

It tells us the boyz in 1789 HAD A CLUE

Heading out in a few minutes to vote for Scott then may go up to Salisbury to work for the campaign plus there's a party tonight. At this point the only way the Dems can win is to steal it.

Apparently MA election law requires 15 days for certification before swearing-in. Should be interesting to see what happens with that.

The Dems have obviously forgotten that they work for us, so today we're gonna remind them who US is.

RRA,
The Dems have obviously forgotten that they work for us, so today we're gonna remind them who US is.

But they won't stop pushing their agenda. They'll push even harder!

I've never seen such perseveration. Check the definition of that psychological term.
