I guess the new sound of crickets chirping is Achmed and the Olympians.
This doesn't surprise me after watching last night. There were lots of interesting story lines about the Massachusetts senate race, and the majority of the Conservatives were more interested in "I told you so" bullshit.
The press is quick to judge on this - "Obama". No one really wants to discuss what a piss poor race Coakley ran, as it might take away from the drunken power that is one senate seat.
I see today, Obama and the Democrats have decided to slow the pace. Probably good. Find out what the people REALLY don't like and then set up a game plan. Let's face it, the GOP will do nothing other than obstruct and to deny that would be silly. Put a health care insurance reform act together that serves REALLY what the PEOPLE want, and then dig in for reconciliation, if needed.
Welcome to government, democracy style.

All politics are local. When a good Repub runs against a bad Dem, the Repub should win and that is exactly what happened. Coakley was a piss poor candidate and the leaders of the Massachusetts State Dems that failed to understand that that need to be fired. What I fear is the cowards of my party will run right into the hands of their opponents.
This is not a referendum on Obama, it is a case of a state party loosing it's way.
I've seen this before. A Party, and by that I mean any and all Parties Dem, Repub, Green, Libertarian, Communist, etc, gets so chummy with a candidate it overlooks the candidate's electability. Let this be a lesson to my 3 Congressional district Democrats. Denny Heck, I'm looking your way.
PS: As Jon Stewart quipped: "So now the Dems have only an 18 vote majority in the Senate."
PPS: Sen Mitch McChinless(R The Man): STUF bitch.
Uh, STFU Mitch, STFU...
Anon:
I'm glad you brought up Heck. He needs to press the flesh - NOW.
I know this was probably a legit election, but Diebold machines and no exit polls? What gives? Why the Fuck are the Republican-controlled Diebold machines allowed to be used? Shouldn't voting be owned and operated by a non-partisan entity?
For someone that likes to use the term "crickets chirping" they sure pay close attention to what goes on here.
Amen, Buckwheat.
The funniest part is that they lurk the hell out of this blog but are all too chickenshit to comment - with exception of Mark Wood, whose comments were either ignored or worthless
For a state that conservatives seem to like to call 'overwhelmingly liberal' Massachusetts sure seems to have had a lot of Republican governors over the last 20 years.
Do the R's really suppose Brown would have beateen Teddy Kennedy if he had still be alive? No f'ing chance.
