Doug Flutie broke my heart. frown He's a huge local hero, from Naitck. Natick is in the MetroWest, the key swing part of the state.

Honestly he has been a drummer his whole life. And if you were in your mid-40's and a retired athlete, wouldn't you be playing music if you loved doing so?

Indeed, at long last Massachussets has joined Virginia and New Jersey in Progressing Forward.

Edit: Can somebody tell me how this isn't a referendum on Obama? I'd love to hear it!

Oh, this is amazing. Howard Dean just blamed the loss on not moving fast enough on health care reform!

The more they hear they are too left of the country, the further left they want to go!

What does this mean?

First of all, this will be taken as meaning HCR must be passed exactly as the Senate Bill. That’s already clear. The Democratic reaction to losing Kennedy’s seat will be to do exactly what voters were punishing them for.

In 2010 Democrats will be slaughtered, absolutely slaughtered, because Obama and the senior Democratic leadership does not learn.

In 2012 Obama will become a 1 term president, and a right wing populist will get into power. That populist will turn out not to be a populist, and will do even stupider things than Obama economically (and may start a war, too).

The job is to prepare for this, to get new members and leadership in in 2014. Start working on it now.

Because 2014 and 2016 are going to be your last chance. If the US doesn’t elect people who are willing to do what it takes in those two election years, then the US economy is going to be a smoking ruin, far worse even than it is now.

This group of Dems have proved they can’t learn. Fortunately, and yes, I do mean fortunately, they are going to be swept out of power. Yes, they’ll be replaced by Republicans who are marginally worse, but that will give you your one chance to fix America.

Up to you if you’re up for it. Good luck.

It's so far left that even those living Leftopolis vote for the other guy.

Let me quote from the master a line that fits this and any election, "All politics are local" Tip O'Neill.

This may have been a black president backlash, but it was more likely the shit candidate that Coakley was and the shit campaign she ran.

Dean was wrong but so are you. It's not the direction that is the democrats problem it is their inability to sell their policies properly.

No, dude. This was what is known as a "perfect storm."

Obama, Rahm and the DNC failed miserably by not keeping an eye on the situation and allowing some idiots to run her campaign. They also haven't helped themselves with a health care bill that now is only wanted by 30% of the population because it's considered to be a insurance company sell out bill.

She was also a disaster of a candidate, obviously. Refusing to shake people's hands is stunning.

But, blame all around. The Dems completely, 100% deserve this - at all levels.

Getting rid of Dean and treating him like shit will go down as one of the all time dumbest moves by a White House.

What's "too left" is subjective from person to person. However, if Lefty McLeftington of Leftsburg, Leftachussets is voting for the other guy, then by any reasonable standard, you have gone too left.

America has always been a conservative nation. Bill Clinton was the most successful democratic since Kennedy, and Bill Clinton went centrist after the Republican takeover of Congress. Kennedy was also fiscally conservative.

Right, so, I'll ask again. What have the done that was "too left?' The two things you just listed did not happen.
