By early afternoon on Tuesday, several hours before the polls closed on the special Senate election in Massachusetts, the Democrats had already thrown in the towel and started throwing punches. At each other. There was more finger-pointing among Bay State and Beltway Democrats than in a “Three Stooges” marathon. More backstabbing than all of the “Real Housewives” combined.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs confessed that President Obama was “frustrated” and “not pleased” by the closeness of the race after his salvation mission to Boston over the weekend. Operatives lashed out at Democratic candidate Martha Coakley’s listless, gaffetastic campaign. Capitol Hill buzzed with rumors that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was blaming the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and liberal pollster Celinda Lake for ignoring electoral alarm bells.
In response, Coakley’s team leaked a memo blasting national Democratic brethren for failing to aid them “until too late.” Another Democratic Party official counter-jabbed to Politico that Coakley had “been involved in the worst case of political malpractice in memory.”
On the sidelines, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank took to the airwaves to call for sabotaging Senate rules and ending the filibuster in anticipation of losing the magic 60th vote for the government health care takeover plan. Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer trotted out the old blame-the-GOP card — incoherently arguing that GOP candidate Scott Brown’s surge among conservatives, independents and once-reliable rank-and-file Democratic voters in the deep-blue state of Massachusetts was a backlash against Republican obstructionism.

How about Brown giving the State of the Union response from Concord Bridge
I flipped over to msnbc once or twice last night, hoping to see if KO’s head had exploded, but each time it was only rachel madcow talking about republican dirty tricks... I can only take her in about 20 second doses, so I had to turn back. To be honest, I don’t even remember what I was watching, and I know I fell asleep by about 10:00pm central time, but Brown’s people were already celebrating the last time I flipped over to Fox News.

***Palin/Brown 2010..... What do you think? it would drive MSNBC even nuttier.***
OK - repeat after me...2...0...1...2.
Get out of your jammies & have a coffee;) LOLOLOL!!!
Let’s not go overboard here ... God bless him but we need to see a little bit more out of Scott before we put him on the Presidential ticket. The win in Mass. was more about democRATic overreach than a cult-of-personality for Brown.
re: Let’s not go overboard here
Amen! It’s great to enjoy a bit of elation and celebrating, but let’s not lose sight of the fact we are in the starting gate, not crossing the finish line. There’s a lot of race between where we are and where we can claim the winner’s accolades.
Seems to me the thing to do now is set our sights on another race “they” say we can’t win, and teach another lesson.
Is there anything more beautiful than a RAT Circular Firing Squad?
“Political malpractice”? Maybe the donks can sue themselves. LOL!
