If Brown wins, you have to think that some of the dems may step back from the ledge and not jump. Is the entire democratic party ready to commit suicide over the Obama agenda? Harry Reid is on that appears to be headed towards disaster.

I will grant you this: Coakley is an awful, awful candidate.

The throw-Coakley-under-the-bus movement has already begun.

It's not Obama's fault. It never is.

She's pretty, she's articulate, and she is running to make sure that Obama healthcare reform will pass among other things.

One of these three things is hurting her. It's a mystery to democrats which one, though.

The money quote from an AP story this morning:

Quote:
But some Democrats said failure to pass a health bill will cripple their ability to tell voters this November that they accomplished anything with their control of the House, Senate and White House.
They are panicking. The Coakley ad claiming that Brown wants all raped women turned away from hospitals is outrageous. The Brown campaign has filed a legal challenged to the ad, but it doesn't matter ... I can't believe Coakley thinks MA voters are so stupid as to believe something like that.

if you want to know how liberals think, read this piece.

I've never seen a party go from unconquerable dominance to mass suicide in one year.

Does anyone know Cali in real life? If so, please put a call into his home teachers tonight, so that they can do a health and wellness check tonight, you know, the same thing that the police sometimes do.

I'm very concerned.

You have to be without a doubt one of the worst political prognosticators around. And incredibly smug, to boot.

You bring out the smugness in everyone, Tex. You would be smug too, if you saw what we were looking at in our conversations with you.
