[quote=patb][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Neeta: The simple fact that we’re even discussing a Republican having a chance in a Massachusetts election should tell you something significant.
I can’t recall seeing this many politicians, of both parties, hitting the exits.
While some, like Dodd, were expected; others, like Dorgan, were a surprise.
2010 elections should be veddy interesting.[/quote]
be careful, the press loves a horse race.
Coakley is running a shit campaign.
Rahm is certainly doing a great job of demobilizing
the democratic base.
even if Brown wins, the house could pass the senate bill and that’s it.
or Reid could grow a pair and stick a health care bill on top of funding for the troops.[/quote]
Pat: What strikes me is the complete cluelessness of both Democrats and Republicans.
Rahm might be doing a great job of demobilizing the Dem base, but the Republicans are matching him, stroke for stroke, when it comes to a lack of qualified candidates, unifying ideology, or even basic understanding of what the American public is seeking.
I listen to complete clowns like Limbaugh and Palin and Steele and realize that they are as out to lunch as the Dems are.
In a truly weird way, we may have moved into a post-partisan age, but only because both parties have shown themselves incapable of leadership.
