Given that, I just don’t see why this particular election is a big deal. Perhaps history will prove otherwise, but I really think we are letting the media over-hype this. [/quote]
More evidence that lawn chairs don’t pay much attention:
“California Democrat Dianne Feinstein, for one, said the election of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts shows the fundamental political landscape has shifted and Democrats across the country have to take note, focusing on how to create jobs and keep people in their homes instead of trying to explain the need for sweeping social programs.
“I can tell you the situation has changed dramatically. And I think it’s a sweep across the country and I think that the (White House Economic Adviser) Larry Summers’s of the world have to see it, the administration has to see it and we have to see it. And therefore everything is jobs and the economy and education. People are worried about education,” she said.
Democrats are FINALLY realizing that they should not be obsessed with large-scale spending for social programs and health care when 10% of the U.S. population is unemployed and foreclosures are mounting. And you wonder why this particular election was a “big deal”? Are you purposefully being obtuse?
