When Scott Brown won the Senatorial election in Massachusetts last week many Democrats in DC made some severe changes in how they perform their duties. A Republican winning one seat in the Senate that gives the party 41 seats really changed things for many of them.
I think that the very reason for those changes is the fact that politicians really can read the numbers in polls, and the most serious polls for them are election results.
A mirage win for Regressives desperate for relevancy

An unlikely win like this fails to do two things:
1) It fails to erase the knowledge this country has that after 8 years of Bush and Republican control, Republicans are clueless across the board on all issues foreign and domestic. Regressives are no longer qualified to be a major political party. When you are in office, you send the country into near Depressions, run up record deficits, get into people's pockets NOT by more taxes but by deregulation so that businesses and banks can charge more fees, pay less for more of your time. When you are in control and required to help the country, you lie to go to war,apply the incorrect kind and amount of force during the war, and ultimately cause this country to bleed to death by the losing effort. So Brown's win merely means that there is yet another clueless conservative senator now.
2) It fails to diminish president Obama in any way. Obama is a man who reaches across the table, listens to the other side, develops solutions that work. He's now successfully digging this country out of a hole that took the Republicans 8 years to get us into. A win by Brown does nothing to hamper Obama.
...so dream on Regressives. Over 8 years, you were clueless and to no one's surprise, you all still are.

I would like Obama to just come clean. You can't do a 180 like he did and rationalize it by unvieling this terrific jobs agenda as if it was planned all along. Where has it been? Why wasn't he agressively pursuing jobs on all those TV appearances and the 199 speaches he had to desperately schedule for our sake? Obama had to save us before the doctors tore out all our childrens tonsills. I truly believe he seriously is aloof.
I have written before about this "Roosovelt Watermark" he wants attributed to "Changing America" on his limited watch. He longs for a lost father figure to replace his untoward childhood and the hollow relationgship being raised by his white family.
The twinky defense is old. Obama is having a "Scott Brown Moment"

lol For a republican to win in Mass it appears to do just that

I'm glad that Sowell shares my feelings about Obama's egomaniacal healthcare agenda. I honestly feel that Obama could care less how his policies affect this nation as long as his name is forever associated with the legislation. I concur with the posters assessment of a Roosevelt watermark that is sought by Mr. Obama.
Apparently the Massachusett voters hated their state-controlled healthcare system enough to take a slap at the federal program promised by Obama,...by electing Brown. They were saying,..."...can you hear me now?"
82% of those voting for Brown did so because they wanted him to work with the Democrats. They didn't vote for him because he was Republican, they voted for him because he'd do the job. I agree with Alexus that this does nothing to Obama, except, of course, in the minds of partisan people who can't think in anything other than black and white.
