Massachusetts Senate Race

[12thMan]

I actually think this a good thing for the Democrats. All isn't lost for the Democrats and certainly not for Obama's agenda. This is definitely a set back, but not the end. Truth is, they never really had a super majority as witnessed by the struggle with passing healthcare. Now they'll man up and stop chasing that elusive number 60 and get down to business.

The balance is good for the country and the party, actually.

Losing MA is inexcusable...it's pathetic to see all these Dems point fingers. Man the f'ck up, take your licking and stop whining. I mean, they're acting like they lost congress and there is no hope. I say bring out the iron club and start whacking people in the face if they act a fool and if the GOP decide to fillabuster everything threaten with everything imaginable including doing away with the fillabuster. It's a game of chess not checkers and you still have a huge advantage.

Enjoy this win boys, see you in Nov.

The GOP won't sink to the lows that the Dems used against President Bush to try to block EVERYTHING.

Also, changing the Senate/House rules to get your way won't go ignored by the voters.

Just face it, 2/3 of Americans do not want this bad bill. Stop trying to force it on us against our will.

Changing the rules mid way is what lead to this election and if they had left things alone in the first place their Dem. chould have appointed someone to replace TK. This is called a major back fire right in their face. I don't think they have the votes to do away with the fillabuster rule.

Really, they had control to pass the bill it was fighting within the party that made passing the bill so tough. The Rep. had nothing to do with dragging this out and did not have the votes to stop the bill.
