Brown wins, now what?, by Michael Tomasky (Guardian).
... (Scott) Brown ran a smart race. He worked at it harder than (Martha) Coakley did. His name will appear instantly now in GOP veepstakes conversations, and I guess it deserves to. He won a seat the GOP hasn't won since the 1940s. But conservatives, caveat emptor: he's pro-choice. Or at least, that's how he ran this race. Kinda rules him out.
But the more vital question now is what the Democrats do with their importantly but ever-so-slightly diminished majority. Do they cave on everything? Do they act as if they just lost not one seat, but 19 more?
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Sugar high for the GOP as Brown carries Massachusetts.
Maybe now that Republicans nationwide are in such a good mood, the ones in Indiana will vote in favor of our Sunday growler sales legislation, based on a consideration of its merits, and not burying their heads to ask what God thinks. Funny, that deity, and I was going to ask about God's whereabouts when Barack Obama was elected, but why dabble in theology when Progressive Pints are so much more enriching?
reminder to Democrats, most voters in Mass consider themselves independent and vote accordingly. Especially in local elections.
ReplyDeleteUh, I think they needed that reminder about a month ago, Gina. (grin)
