Rough week for Democrats
Scott Brown (R) has made an unlikely resurgence (or maybe just "surgence") in Massachusetts, raising $1.3 million dollars in a single day in small money donations (avg donation: $77). Martha Coakley (D) has been forced to actual campaign, turning in a sub-par debate performance, running a misleading attack ad with the name of her own state misspelled, and even paying Brown-supporting union workers to hold up campaign signs.
Coakley sounded the warning horn at a swanky DC fundraiser, begging for money, and it's estimated the DNC may have to pour in as much as $1 million of its own dollars to combat Brown's grassroots uprising. And in the (still) unlikely event he ends up winning, the Dems in the Senate are threatening to delay his swearing-in to avoid his filibuster-breaking 41st vote on health care, further angering the electorate. This is Ted Kennedy's former seat, folks. This is Massachusetts. And then, of course, we have the Democrat leadership's outrageous display of racism. Harry Reid refers to "light-skinned ... Negro dialect" and Bill Clinton says, "A few years ago Obama would've been getting us coffee." This is the party that blacks voted for by a 90% margin in 2000. Of course the Dems, including the racist "black leadership" (Bond, Jackson, Sharpton), are in full circle-the-wagons mode. It's a great way to kick off 2010. May it continue.

Never underestimate the GOP's potential to screw things up.
The anti-intellectual current in the GOP is extremely strong--Palin, Huckabee, et al. |

The GOP is its own worst enemy. Never have I seen a party more capable of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory, than I have from the Republicans.

Heh. No news is too good news to bust up the 1-2 punch of Waters-Arch pessimism.

I've seen the Reps screw up too much to become too excited. If you want an overexcited pundit, go talk to Cali.

Why focus on the negatives? Sarah Palin just joined FoxNews, which hopefully will spell the demise of that already defunct news network. Dems have a lot to celebrate.

Republicans have no plan, no focus, no anything (other than Steele, the Dems not so secret weapon, leading their counterattack), and all the passion of the Republican base is being directed at eliminating moderate Republican candidates in the primaries who can't win in the general election. With health care almost done, we can focus on a jobs bill followed quickly by an energy bill. |

the democrats utopia is California.
And they believe all the problems in CA are due to conservatives. If I were a political adviser, I would be linking the democrats to CA and the blues in the blue states. |

A friend of mine has close ties some how with the Controller I believe from California. And he reported that said controller had gone to DC to see if California could (a) become a territory or (b) file bankruptcy. He determined neither was realistic, but the fact that California investigated the possibilities shows how desperate things are. Obama's policies could lead this nation down California's road of financial plight, spend and give to everybody that will solve the problems.
