Somehow lost in all the hoopla over a huge Republican upset in Massachusetts, somebody forgot to tell the Democratic establishment that all politics is local..... funny how the same moveon.org operation who wanted to "kill the bill" is stumping for Coakley in MA....
Ironic that Massachusetts could keep Romneycare and its individual mandates... and at the same time send a Senator who will proudly cast a vote that could... jeopardize reform that was getting closer and closer to Romneycare and Hillarycare than it ever was to Obama's original healthcare platform that did not include an individual mandate to purchase health insurance.
What seems lost in the discussion is how the "individual mandate" Obama opposed during the campaign was so easily added while a public option was bartered away.... a lose-lose for Obama supporters and a win-win for private insurance companies....
Somehow Obama lost track of people like this guy......

So, what happens if the Republicans get a 41st vote enabling a filibuster?
Hmmm.

Pretty funny.
Brown will get Sen. Kennedy's old office. Predictable gnashing of teeth and head explosions occurring at democratic underground (obvious language warning)

I see the gnashing of teeth and head explosions are occurring here as well.
