What's the Matter with Kansas? Now it's What's the Matter with Massachusetts?

1. Mass just lost braggin rights when it comes to

voting against Nixon. They voted against that hustler, but support hustler Brown.

2. MA is possibly the single worst state to have this happen in.

MAers already have healthcare, and probably better than what the national bill is trying to do. Thus they don't particularly give a crap about the healthcare portion of it.

Add in long periods of relatively one-party rule, as well as a current national independent streak that leans heavily teabagger and a crap Dem candidate, and this is what you get.

3. Massachussetts voters supporting the party of Limbaugh, Beck, Palin, Gingrich, Cheney,

Robertson....? Tell me I'm dreaming.

7. It doesn't surprise me. This country is beyond saving, imo.

13. Looks like the Sinclair Lewis novel "It Can't Happen Here" is happening in MA.

8. Just enough of them, yes.

MA has some pockets of absolute crazy. They are well outvoted by the city of Boston, but when not enough Bostonites turn out, and just enough crazy turns out, well, you get Scott Brown.

11. I hear you. "States" don't vote and they're not isolated from media culture.

As a far leftist living in Texas, I can tell you that for sure...

14. And I live in MS, so I feel ya.

6. I already said that last week.

It's not really helpful though. Republicans and rightwing media types are going to predict a landslide in November. The healthcare bill does not seem very popular either, but failure probably is not gonna sell well either. The public will probably blame us for even trying, just like they did in 1994. Failure is not rewarded. In fact, the bill already looks like a failure just because it is taking so long. Justice delayed is justice denied.

12. Umm nothing - the problem is the DLC and the candidate NOT the voters.
