the November elections...if the White House gets their head out of their asses and heeds this warning shot across the bow, they can save their majorities in both houses...if they keep following the dictates of Presidents Lieberman, Nelson and Snow...this is the beginning of the end of this Administration...

1. Silver lining?
Brown could prove to be a great embarrassment to the people he stands for.

Thanks for articulating how I feel. This is a crucial moment.

3. I agree. This puts us in a better position in a number of ways.
It reduces expectations.

It focuses us by cutting down our options in legislation.

But, most importantly, it gives our Democratic leadership one last opportunity to wake the hell up before November at the bargain-basement price of one Senate seat. Such a lesson would normally cost 50 House seats and 5-7 Senate seats.


I have to say, though- Ted Kennedy's seat going to a male Sarah Palin is shameful.
