Brown a Repudiation of Insufficiently ‘Moderate’ Obama
Turns out that independent voters, a majority of the Bay State electorate and a crucial ingredient in Obama’s historic presidential win 14 months ago, abandoned him in droves. As in last November’s Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races, independents seemed disaffected that they’d voted in 2008 for a more moderate Obama than he turned out to be in 2009.
Well, at least Fred Smerlas will be happy. I’m so proud to be a Massachusetts native!
I should add this, however: we should all be counting our blessings that it isn’t Curt Schilling. I was smelling a narrow Schilling by-election victory, followed by the inevitable unstoppable Palin/Schilling ticket in 2012. It would have been awesome, with altar calls in the White House press room and Tim Lahaye as Treasury Secretary… well, who knows, it might still happen.

Matt,your argument is sound. Unfortunately,attention is much more likely to focus on American Idol or the latest celeb “infidelity.” Our public servants rely, correctly, on the reality that the national attention span is so very short. I would be more lenient on Blankfein and his private sector pals, than those who betrayed the public by letting these private sector dogs run loose. (Apologies to all true canines)
I only wish Harvey Levin’s next venture would be Washingtion and not pro sports.
