I Told You Ninnies He Was Going to Win

Totally wrong on the 11 point margin of victory, of course, but, as St. Augustine said, "Fuck you for noticing."

So fucking psyched.

You know, in a crazy way, this helps the Democrats and Obama. It forces them back to a more moderate path, and takes the scared shitless factor out of 2010; the public can now breathe a sigh of relief that the craziest shit these assholes think of won't get passed.

And that is politically problematic, for us. Cap and Trade? Dead. Card Check? Dead.

Health Care? Well, yeah: Dead.

A few more catastrophic defeats like this and it might be safe to elect Democrats again.

Anyway, always trust my damn hunches. I predicted the 2004 Red Sox sweep of the World Series before the season even began, for crying out loud.

Oh: And of course we know the media's story for tomorrow: Brown didn't really run as a Republican, so, like, this doesn't mean anything, or something.

Um: Except for his party ID as "Republican" and the sixty-three gajillion Coakley commercials calling him a Republican. And his vow to join the Republicans in filibustering ObamaCare (now dead letter), and his support of across the board tax cuts, and his desire to treat terrorists in a rather GOPish manner.

Yeah. They'll try. They won't mean it, and they won't really believe it. But they have to do it.

Because they're stupid, and they can only do what they must do.

10 How stupid does Harry Reid and Ben Nelson feel? All Reid has to do is sit on this bill until today. IF hadn't passed the Senate and the House, Brown gets smoked.

Nelson and the other Senators with their hands out like Landrieu must feel like schmucks too. Oh, and the Unions. I thought they might be the 101st Senator with card check, health care, the GM bailout etc.

Can't wait for November if the Republican leadership reads the "tea leaves" correctly.

33 It forces them back to a more moderate path,

This is sort of right. They can't pass what they want, but what they want doesn't change, and everyone knows it. But let's not forget, they didn't get obliterated in 94 because they passed Hillarycare-they were punished for even trying. It will not be forgotten by November what they tried to do this last year, nor how much time they spent on it when everyone knew a solid majority of the country opposed it. They will be punished again. Now it may not be as bad as it would had they passed it.

But remember. Some form of it already passed both the House and Senate. Every Dem Senator and nearly all Dem Representatives are on record voting for it. They may scramble now under the impulse "we are headed for electoral slaughter, but maybe I can outrun the rest of the caucus and keep my seat." There is great entertainment to be had in the months ahead. At the end of which time...

...they will be punished again.

92 it won't force Obama to do a thing. He has Narcissist Personality Disorder.

I read somewhere that he hasn't had a general type press conference, where he answered questions, in several months. He's already retreated into the bunker.

I expect this to continue. His handlers don't want to risk him blowing up in a narcissistic rage live on camera.

Now that the shit has gone sideways in a big way, his handlers must be working overtime to restrict access and contain leakage.

101 I respectfully express my doubts on your theory, Ace!
Clinton was a pragmatist, and changed to please the masses, but Obama is an over-the-top narcissist (hence the near-daily speeches),and ahard-core marxist. He's also a fairly inexperienced politician who lives in a solid steel bubble that even a moderate Democrat can't penetrate. The other Dems have been following Obama, Pelosi, and Reid because they're being strongarmed, Chicago style. The hard left has been on a suicidal "force it down the public's throats while we have the chance" for some time now. Why expect it to change? These are not "normal" politicians running the show.
Hell, Obama still thinks that he can make outrageous claims and people will still believe him. He doesn't get that people are sick of hearing his empty rhetoric (every frikkin' day!), and only care about how unemploymentand the national debt arethrough the roofwhile he's busy withpushingsocialized medicine. He's literally incapable of "getting it", and a marxist like him sure as hell isn't going to support a damn thing that would actually help the situation (and neither are Nancy and Harry).
I could be wrong, but I expect the only "moderation" is going to come from the harsh reality of their not having the 60 votes. Expect sleezy, heavy-handed schemes to try to get around that handicap, and increasing lame attempts to STILL blame Bush! It would take a Tea Party WITHIN the Democratic Party to make any kind of difference, and I just don't see it. They're already rationalizing this loss in MA.
In short, I'll prognosticate that 2010 is still lookin' REAL GOOD. Their only real hope isif the economy bounces back somewhat despite their better efforts.

137 The fine print in Brown's victory is who the hell was running Brown's campaign? While Brown surely played a role, there's got to be a core leadership group working with Brown who needs to be giving out classes in how to get things done :

Good clean campaigns, with a consistent set of POSITIVE CONSERVATIVE messages, capable of positive counter punching, ability to implement internet fund raising, capable of putting together quality youtube video messages, capable of quickly expanding a positive, reasonably conservative, campaign vertically with increased funding without getting bogged down in bureaucratic wasteful foolishness, etc, etc...

150 We are witnessing the politics of ablation.

The Obama agenda is bundled up inside a capsule. The three-hundred-odd Democrats that comprise their House and Senate majorities form the heatshield on the bottom, shielding the agenda from the fierce heat of public opinion.

If the Rahm Emanuels did their sums correctly, the capsule lands safely on Obama's desk with enough of the heatshield intact.

But it's looking more and more like the steep angle at which they're trying to, uh, penetrate the public is tearing critical chunks off their protection.

151 The fine print in Brown's victory is who the hell was running Brown's campaign?
It has been reported several times (on Fox, as well as sites like Politico and NRO) that it was in large part Mitt Romney and his core braintrust. People are saying that this positions him very strongly within the GOP going forward and, you know what? They're right. Mittens and his team deserve MASSIVE credit for this. Call him a RINO all you want; he worked with Brown quietly, behind the scenes, never putting himself into the spotlight at all (until tonight, to take some well-deserved bows), and gave Brown a major boost. There's a reason Brown took a big pause to single out Romney for his help in that victory speech.

160 would it be a stretch to say that (my hero) Scott Brown defeated Teddy Kennedy as much as he defeated, um, what's-her-name?

Previous polling showed the Kennedy family endorsement pushed away more votes than it gained. So...I don't think Coakley was viewed by the public as defacto Kennedy surrogate.

I think Teddy's popularity was due to several things.

- He worked hard at the job. Nobody, even his worst enemies, denies this.

- His attendance record on Senate votes, even mundane procedural shit and naming of office buildings and such, was almost perfect (in the 97+% range)

- His responsiveness to constituent issues when someone contacted his office about something was exemplary.

He was a raging drunk, a lousy human being, but he played the "Senator gig" the way it should be played if you want to keep getting elected. IOW, he executed daily all the sage political advice offered by Tip O'Neil in his book "All Politics Is Local"

None of Teddy's positive attributes necessarily transferred to Coakley by default and I think quite a few of the voters understood she would NOT be giving the same kind of responsive apolitical constituent service they'd come to expect from Teddy.

162 Frankly I'm shocked that Brown won, not because of anything miserable about him (he's basically a RINO, but no worse than many in the GOP), but because this is so important to the Democrats and because - lets face it - Massachusetts doesn't exactly have a great track record in elections. I mean look at the rogues gallery of scum and freaks that have come from there, and kept being re-elected.

But I was wrong, and glad to be so, because this means the nation is really waking up to what the left is trying to do and really is that angry.

164 Call me shallow, but what I like about Scott Brown the most is that he is a fresh, new face in the Republican Party, but one with the principles of some of the old farts in the Republican Party,..., and he is down to earth (and it helps, too, that one of his daughters, the blonde one, looks like she is easy).

He's not a "purist" on the social con issues. Not a problem for me, or the good people of Massachusetts, but I'm sure we'll be hearing about it. Mostly at the HA echo chamber, no doubt.

168 but because this is so important to the Democrats

Nationally, perhaps, locally not so much. Romney already foisted off a version of ObamaCare locally on MA years ago. Maybe they aren't entirely happy with it?

Coakley was obviously not going to be a Teddy in terms of apolitical type constituent services either. She was running for his seat, but she wasn't going to be his equal or even close.

When interviewed, a few Democrats made that point, saying that inasmuch as they were paying for healthcare with their taxes in Massachusettsalready, they didn't want to pay for healthcare for the rest of the country,l too, with even more taxes, which was another reason why they voted for (sigh) my hero, Scott Brown..

First Hardball, right about the time they called it, he looked like a Katrina victim; vacant stare, despair in his voice, Madcow was looking at him like they'd just put him on suicide watch.
Second Hardball, he was completely shit faced.

Anyway, we are very lucky that Brown won, because that means Obamacare is dead. May it rest in pigshit.

If he had lost, even if only by a little, that abomination would be on Obama's desk in a week, and I think a mild shooting war would have started. 65% of teh public ain't gonna be shat on and let it slide.

181 "I cannot stand lawrence O'Donnel but we agree on the fact that the watershed moment was when he said "it's the people's seat" "Yep. Massachusetts calls itself "the cradle of liberty", they make a big deal about the Revolutionary War, Lexington and Concord etc. but they've spent the last 40+ years mindlessly voting in the closest thing America has had to a royal family since King George III. I think Brown shamed them into voting Republican.

Is this a new euphemism for chokin' the chicken?

I have to believe that Willie Brown had it right last night when he laid out what Obama's strategy will be. He said that Obama's problem wasn't that his ideas were out of whack with what the people want. He just hasn't convinced the people about how awesome his ideas are. I suppose his giant-sized brain is so powerful that we mere mortals cannot understand him. Brown went on to say that Obama should push ahead with his agenda and, when the people see how fantastic their lives have become, they will write songs singing his praises and every child born will be named Barack.

189 Ace:
I don't think Obama is going to back-off his agenda. I think he is going to double-down and use the Executive Branch. Watch for the EPA to start restricting that dangerous gas, carbon dioxide, soon.
I do agree that the election of Scott Brown is good news. However, three good election results for Republicans in a few months does not turn back a Progressive agenda that has been working for decades. I encouraged because Brown, Christie and McDonnell did not campaign saying, "Hey, vote for me because I want to be like a Democrat."

190 I believe the phrase you quoted was in City of God or something. I remember talking about getting one of the "Great Books" for one of my nephews who was going off to college. I remembered that City of God was huge, so I threatened buying him a copy (better than a briefcase to attract the ladies!). I write them notes which are intended to be funny (YMMV), and then give them money which they like better than my threats at mind expansion (I recall that you did need pizzas and stuff also!). Finally some good news, although who could vote for that witch Coakley. Game over with that case with the poor toddler and the hot curling iron. She needs a severe beating, not a cushy senate job. I detest her (who could not?). Glories to God and all though.

The first time, it doesn't showAnd her kind, just come and goShe's like a ship, a drifting freeAnd now she's sinking in the sea

She's going down (It's all over, she's going down)She's coming 'round (It's all over, she's going down)She's going down for the last time (It's all over, she's going down)

192 I am ecstatic about Brown, but I think increased vigilance is in order.

My guess is the Dems will smarten up only to the degree that they are more clandestine about their goals. The biggest change in the last year from the previous 80 is that progressives stopped hiding what their real goals were.

They'll go back underground. Things will sneak through again, hiding in plain sight. Compromises will be made to give the illusion of moderation, while in back rooms the assfucking of the American people will continue unabated.

We need to make this clear, and we need to keep fighting them. In my view, it just got a lot harder to show the American people what these pinkos are all about.
