Bush did it

Cruisin' Donk Twits Here Boss ..

PPP: Brown 51, Coakley 46 (lord_mike) http://publicpolicypolling.blo...

It looks like that's all she wrote... yes, technically, it's a tossup, but it's worse than 10 days ago...

Damn!  PPP hinted that things would improve, but they haven't...

All is not lost... time to continue to GOTV, but this is not encouraging whatsoever...

These guys claim to know why?  Chomsky is the funniest.  Sullivan nibbles on the edge, but none get it right.  Someone ought to ask us. We know. USA UAS USA!

Andrew Sullivan figures it out... (lord_mike) The problem is the Kennedys...

He's absolutely right.  Just a terrible combination of coincidences coming together at once.  I hope the skittish Dems figure it out, too before they all panic at this likely loss...  A terrible way to go, though...

Bottom line, these are people who benefited the most from FDR, were hurt grievously by the neocons, and the Left ceded them to the Right.

Stupid, dangerous, and arrogant.

Personally, I believe that a more robustly progressive set of public laws would have resulted in better economic conditions, and thus a better political environment for Democrats.

Yes, yes, that's it. You weren't Progressive enough! More Progressive Laws would have made the economy better! Please, be much more Progressive in your "public laws"! See how that works out for you, dipshit.

So, the backlash you're getting for enacting your Progressive agenda is only because you didn't go Progressive enough.
I swear, it's a mental illness among them. Whenever their policies don't work or more likely make things worse, it's always because they didn't go far enough.

The Left has and will always claim that all failures of Leftism are the result of insufficient Leftism.
(What? Oh yeah)
... and so will Democrats.

My theory is that it's all about the candidates. Coakley is a poor candidate who was assumed would win because she's a democrat.

Brown will win, but next election, the donks will be back with a much better candidate and probably win.

That's not what I would like to see but it's what I expect to happen.

Arch, conventionally I'd agree with you, but Brown is actually a smart politician, so maybe he survives the next outing. It all depends which cycle he ends up in. If he's up in 2012, I'll bet that he survives.

Daniel, not the exact words I was going to use, but the same sentiment.
