1. 'Never to the left, forever to the right'

Musical: 1776
Song: Cool, Cool, Considerate Men

Dickinson:
Oh say do you see what I see?
Congress sitting here in sweet serenity
I could cheer; the reason's clear
For the first time in a year Adams isn't here
And look, the sun is in the sky
A breeze is blowing by, and there's not a single fly

I sing hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna, hosanna
And it's cool

Come ye cool cool conservative men
The likes of which may never be seen again
We have land, cash in hand
Self-command, future planned
Fortune flies, society survives
In neatly ordered lives with well-endowered wives

We sing hosanna, hosanna
To our breeding and our banner
We are cool

Come ye cool cool considerate set
We'll dance together to the same minuet
To the right, ever to the right
Never to the left, forever to the right
May our creed be never to exceed
Regulated speed, no matter what the need

We sing hosanna, hosanna
Enblazoned on our banner
Is keep cool

What we do we do rationally
We never ever go off half-cocked, not we
Why begin till we know that we can win
And if we cannot win why bother to begin?

Rutledge:
We say this game's not of our choosing
Why should we risk losing?

All:
We are cool

To the right, ever to the right
Never to the left, forever to the right
We have gold, a market that will hold
Tradition that is old, a reluctance to be bold.

Dickinson:
I sing hosanna, hosanna
In a sane and lucid manner
We are cool

All:
Come ye cool cool considerate men
The likes of which may never be seen again
With our land, cash in hand
Self-command, future planned
And we'll hold to our gold
Tradition that is old, reluctant to be bold.
We say this game's not of our choosing
Why should we risk losing?

We cool, cool, cool
Cool, cool, cool
Cool cool men.

3. On the Jim Leher News(PBS) tonight very interesting discussion

M.Shields and D. Brooks. Both had spent time on the Hill today.
According to each of them, the Dems on the Hill are in a Panic.
An each man for himself has broken out. In the past, it was
a practice that if one Senator was facing a tough upcoming race
two other Senators who might not be facing a difficult race
would pitch in some of their funds to give the guy in trouble
a boost. According to S. and B. there is an I could lose my
job pall hanging over the place. Sounds as if they need to
get out of town and clear their heads. Further, it seems
the Ma election, caught then off guard.

How could they not have suspected anything? I suspected but
did not want to believe we could lose. The fact that there
was unrest on Democratic Netroots gave me a clue early on.
I was not shocked by the results--half expecting. Are they
in such a bubble or were they in denial???

From now on they should listen to the Netroots. Activists
are red-blooded ordinary Americans with families just like
every other American We live in all parts of the country and
from all walks of life. We are not going to be that different
from our neighbors. We maybe more politically knowledgeable,
but I will bet our reactions are not that different from
other Americans. They may have had a clue.

9. I thought there was an almost complete lack of interest in the MA race till it tightened up.

I searched for threads here at DU about the primaries in MA but so far, have found none. The actual turnout for the primary election was very low. Not just for the Democrats but for the Republicans also.
