Looks like the White House has brought in a new political adviser, to help them convince the public that a loss in Massachusetts is not a reflection on Obama.

The Obama administration is gearing up to spin the likely Republican upset victory in the Massachusetts special election for the U.S. Senate tomorrow as a validation of Barack Obama's "underdog" presidential candidacy to change how Washington works, according to Politico.
Obama advisors David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett must be hitting the crack pipe and hitting it hard if they believe that Republican Scott Brown is on the verge taking away a Senate seat the Democrats have held since John F. Kennedy won it in 1952 because voters identify Brown's candidacy as being sympatico with Obama.
Politico:
An upset by Republican Scott Brown would be covered in many quarters as a repudiation of Obama, especially after Obama’s last-ditch campaign appearance with Coakley 36 hours before the polls opened.
But the president’s advisers plan to spin it as a validation of the underdog arguments that fueled Obama’s insurgent candidacy.
“The painstaking campaign for change over two years in 2007 and 2008 has become a painstaking effort in the White House, too,” the official said. “The old habits of Washington aren’t going away easy.”
After Obama's advisors passed the crack pipe around the horn again, Politico adds this rationale from them:
Already Obama’s rhetoric is reflecting what aides acknowledge is a strong undercurrent of populist anger. By these lights, impatience with the status quo — rather than any rightward turn in the mood of the electorate — is what would fuel a Brown victory.
Reflecting his new tone, Obama last week announced a new fee on big banks by vowing, “We want our money back, and we’re going to get it.”
Obama is the status quo that voters are rebelling against, but Obama's advisors are lost in the fog of crack smoke in a West Wing cubbyhole and can't hear the roar of the angry voters over their own giggling about how cool they are.
After copping a rock from Axelrod's stash, Politico reports a "top Democrat" as saying of tomorrow's election:
"You can say it’s a rejection of the agenda. But it’s just as valid to say it’s frustration with the way things are going in the country and that people still want change."
“Rumor has it, smoking crack will turn your lips blue”
What about a dirty maroon?
I can see where the democrats would get the idea that half the poulation will believe anything
This entire mob is DELUSIONAL!!
These comments can be dismissed with the fact that Pelosi and her crack-smokers have been in power since 2006.
Hannity seems to forget this every day... assuming he ever knew it.
Go, Scott, Go!
Obama won’t use you for obamacare — we know.

Mmmmkay - and Global Warming makes it cold. Got it.
Whatever it is has some major way of inducing seriously delusional thinking.
"Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad"
It seems to be working............
The socialist/collectivist elites and their propagandists have post-it notes in their minds saying, “Reality is Negotiable”. Then, they proceed to amplify the absurdity to the useful idiots. Many have been duped. Witness history.
When, in the course of human events,...
By replacing Kennedy with a Republican we will be advancing Kennedy’s dream.
If I snort Quikcrete in my left nostril and coke in my right nostril I will stay high longer.
To think these people have their fingers on the button. Be afraid America.
