Defense Secretary?

[Mass]

22. I am so tired of the irrational fear of this idiot.

Sorry to say that, but the main reason Brown got its seat in the first place is that NO Dems (Not Coakley, but also not Menendez as chair of the DSCC, not Kaine as head of the DNC, not whoever was the chair of the MA Democratic Party at the time) even consider she could lose. They were so disengaged that the MA Democratic Party even aired an ad with Massachusetts misspelled. And, even with this, she only lost by 5 at a time when the White House was highly unpopular both from the left and the right.

Now we know it is possible. We won two election cycles against MA moderate Dems (I am not counting Brown in there) that the same Cassandras had said we would lose (Baker and Tisei were so great, you know).

I do not relish the idea of another vote, but, assuming that the Obama government does not become as unpopular that it was in Jan 2010, we would win this one too, as long as we work on it and do not assume it was a done deal.

Enough is enough.

Note: I hope Kerry stays, but I am so disillusioned with the DC political media that I do not know whether I will trust anything they write anymore (at least not for a while). At this point, most of the stories they publish are leaks by some person who is trying to push its/her own talking points. Nothing is officially sourced. This is not reporting. This is not any better than People Magazine. In fact, I am certain People Magazine checks their sources better than that.
