I wonder if this could have happened in a general election. I mean, if Teddy had retired, named and campaigned for his successor, I doubt this would have happened.
Coakley was a poor candidate, but the WH and the DNC took that seat for granted and didn't seem to catch on until Rasmussen, of all people, woke them a few weeks ago. Even then, they probably thought all BO had to do was show up to save her. That they did not see this coming is a political embarrassment.
Add to that, Romney's advisors (I assume the same team that forced Teddy off his butt to actually campaign in '94) who obviously know how to win in Mass, were on loan to Brown.
A special election, a poor candidate, an apathetic party leader whose numbers are in decline, an unpopular legislative agenda...and watch BO just keep on driving this train right over the cliff.
Ok. I'm sure the president uses Rasmussen as a credible advisor to just about everything he does..Obamas numbers have hovered right around 50% for months now, he is not in decline.

Your theories are faulty except that Martha was a poor candidate and Democrats in Mass beat themselves. They lost a seat that was held by a Liberal Democrat for 47 years. Big mistake but not anything that will destroy them if they begin to look at things more objectively.
Wake up, smell coffee. Even Democrats in Mass voted for Brown... and they are pretty clear about WHY they did. It was not about Martha - it was about Obama. Oops. I hope the POTUS is smart enough to LISTEN, even if his Obamanation are too stupid to do so.
