IT'S BROWN DERANGEMENT ON THE LEFT

MSNBC last night:
I decided to watch Olberman for a few and gloat. He not only reinforced his statements on Scott Brown but...

he, Matthews and and Rachel Maddow came to the conclusion that this electrifying message from Boston was really that the democrats have not been ACTIVE ENOUGH IN PURSUING A LEFTIST AGENDA, THE ONE THE PUBLIC VOTED FOR IN 2008. They are convinced that unless the Health Care bill is passed as is, and the agenda pursued with aggressive ambitions, the dems are done. Olberman to his credit (yes that's right), predicted that the health care bill would end up being some discount on Rx's. He clearly believes a revolution of the Lenin variety is required.

It's BROWN DERANGEMENT. But not for former combat vets....

Politico:

Sen. Jim Webb puts out a statement that puts the notion of a quick
Senate vote out of reach and pretty much makes a certification fight
moot:

In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not
only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of
our government process. It is vital that we restore the respect of the
American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that
end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend
further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is
seated.

And good luck getting Lieberman to vote for cloture this week, anyway.

Some people actually BELIEVE

But the admin is not going to heed this MONUMENTAL message from the most democratic state in the nation. Since 1972, when Mass was the only state to vote dem in a national election, voting for a man who said he would go on his knees to Hanoi to get peace, this state has gone FURTHER left.

Not now.

Massachusetts, the only state to go for McGovern, not having elected a republican to any national office since, sent a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN to the most progressive congress in history, under the most progressive president.

Something has happened.

Can Obama, Axelrod, and Rahm accurately identify what it is?

UPDATE:

But in a sign of the
party's very public disarray, Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana felt
free to take the opposite view in an interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl
Tuesday.

Bayh said that "moderates and independents even in a state as
Democratic as Massachusetts just aren't buying" the Democrats' message
and "just don't believe the answers we are currently proposing are
solving their problems."

"There's going to be a tendency on the part of our people to be in
denial about all this," Bayh told ABC, adding, "if you lose
Massachusetts and that's not a wake-up call, there's no hope of waking
up."

Axelrod:

White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod, in a telephone interview:
"We're going to keep on advocating for the things that we believe are
necessary to get this economy moving again, to get people back to work,
to lift incomes, to get people more economic security. We will work
with whomever wants to work with us to get that done, and I think
that's what the American people want. ... We're FAMILIAR with the vote
that was cast today: Some of the same sentiment that propelled
[Brown's] campaign, propelled ours -- the sense that this economy
doesn't work particularly well for middle class, working people ... You
overlay the fact that we're in a recession -- the deepest since the
Great Depression -- and people are understandably agitated. There is a
restiveness -- and I think it's been intensified by the economy and by
the recession -- that is real. There were many factors that were
peculiar to this race, ... and let's give Brown his due: He ran a
spectacular campaign. ... The lesson is to focus very clearly on the
concerns -- particularly the economic concerns -- of everyday people.
And those concerns go to jobs. Those concerns go to retirement
security. They go to the cost of education kids. And, yes, they go to
the cost of health care, too. ... I think that it would a terrible
mistake to walk away now. If we don't pass the bill, all we have is the
stigma of a caricature that was put on it. That would be the worst
result for everybody who has supported this bill."

Here's an idea... ENGAGE THE REPUBLICANS.. build heath care on two ideas...
1) Insurance companies CANNOT deny for previously exiting conditions
2) Insurance available in New Mexico, Idaho, or ANY state is available in any other state...anyone remember what happened to CELL PHONE PLANS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS?
