You guys simply do not get it. Without the middle and independents, you have NOTHING. Americans are generally not far left. Once it becomes apparent you are governing from the far left, your popular support collapses, as apparent in VA, NJ and MA.

Obama knows nothing else but far left, and you know what's around the corner? Your utter defeat. Incumbent Dem congressmen better resign or they will lose. Blue Dogs better move back to center. The arrogance that this Congress has displayed toward United States citizens is a disgrace. It's an honor to serve the people and you best remember that.

It was our best short term hope to stop getting things “shoved up our a#$”….

The best comment I heard last night is that the Democrats will now assemble a “Circular Firing Squad” to take care of who was responsible for the loss..

Let’s hope so!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not lazy so if I see a statement I am not sure I believe, I do a little research. Some people wait for others to do the work for them.

Yeah, hopefully he'll be in Obama's seat in two years!

Republicans turned this from a state election, to a national election. Dems will be spending more money now, they'll be ready. This wasn't a wake up, it was a shot across the bow. The problem with warning your enemies, is that they dig in and are ready.
That's the problem, they're too busy trying to figure out strategy so they can "win", while ignoring what the public wants and expects from them. As a result they're fighting the public, not the republicans. When the public has expressed it's concerns, all they've heard back is that it's all misinformation from the conservative media and the secret deals just keep happening.

I'm not lazy either, but if I make a bullsh it statement I expect to be called out. The fact that a blanket statement like "Boy is this OP grasping for straws. Browns election has stopped hussein obama's health care. Democrats are coming out of the woodwork saying it's time to stop it and put it on the back burner. " and cannot support it with facts proves the point that once again anyone can post GARBAGE and not have facts to back it up. If there were a slew of dems coming out of the woodwork as you stated it would be pretty news worthy. Again you havent posted anything to prove your statement as anything more than partisan bullshhh....

The fact that the DEMS in the 2 houses are having differences in the language of the two bills is in FACT true, but I'm certain that didnt just happen last night when Brown won in MASS.

Sounds like sour grapes. I think this election just sealed the fate on the "Obama is going to do just about anything he wants to". People don't like one-party super majority rule, and the voters of MA just sent that message directly to the White House. Hopefully they will listen and learn, like Clinton did. Then and ONLY then does Obama have a snowball's chance in hell of a second term. I have serious doubts about that though. He's much more egotistical that Clinton.

I think you sir are the one in need of the hanky today.

I would love to see a more refined health care bill.
What is currently being offered in milk-toast.
Public Option is, to me, the only way to get rid of the stranglehold that profit making insurance companies have on us.
Whether or not I live should not be a decision made by an accountant.
