Victory has many proud parents. Defeat has a whole lot of pointing fingers. Or something like that.
As The Ticket noted first thing this morning, the blame game has already started in the startling Massachusetts U.S. Senate race, operating on the always dangerous assumption that someone has won (Republican Scott "I Drive a Pickup, You Know" Brown) and someone has lost (Democrat Martha "Ewh, Shake Hands with Those People?" Coakley) before the votes are counted.
But, hey, why not?
If staunch lifelong Democrat and son of a staunch lifelong Democrat Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana is doing it, then it must be OK.
He's not yet joined the no-you-didn't-yes-we-did-why-didn't-you-call-for-help-sooner-well-hello-we-did-but-you-weren't-listening-because-of-that-inside-DC-healthcare-dance-Obama-wants-so-badly.
But he is warning that, assuming Coakley the Democrat is electoral toast come balloon-dropping time tonight, Democrats need to learn an important lesson -- and learn it quite quickly. Bayh, who is one of those gutless moderates who just keeps on winning because he listens and stays connected back home, says his party and president have simply abandoned moderation to push a far-left agenda that alienates moderates and, hello, independents, who happen to make up about half of the Massachusetts electorate.

The ‘Rats are in full scale chaos. They are going to be caught between a rock and a hard place now. Barry, Harry and Nan are going to force them to go with the nuclear option on healthcare, while the congressRats know it will be political suicide. Break out the magnum boxes of popcorn. The ‘Rats are going to start gnawing on each other as they fight to jump off their sinking ship.
bye bye, bayh!
Bayh appears to be like Notre Dame. ND can give awards to abortionists but the lcoals still love the Fighting IRish Abortionists. I give the people in MA a lot of credit for voting Scott in. IN should voted Bayh out.
Good letter. You can fax that idiot Bill Nelson for free at FaxZero.com. 2 faxes per day. Faxes are better than emails. Written letters are the best followed by phone calls followed by faxes. A neighbor’s kid worked as a page for a Congressman.
Tell him we do not want Haitian refugees in FL and Obama wants a Mariel Boat Lift. They are gearing up and it will destroy FL.
I am not sure if you know but unemployment in FL is over 13%. State unemployment taxes for employers has skyrockets from about $8 a month per employee to $100. Employers will be leaving in droves. Forget about ANY new jobs.
If they push more Haitians on us - I will leave including those “orphans” who will be followed by their parents and extended family a few months later.
thank you, i will post response if and when i get one....
i hope that everyone on f.r. will take the time to write their senators and congresscritters today...
my other senator is a repub, mica...he is on the right side and listening...at least we have one....
they have already started flying into sanford....yes i know all about the unemployment rate...to high...my fiance was out of work since may of 2008 and finally got back to work by the grace of God...the small family run company i work for has had to cut our salary’s by 25% and laid off approx 12 people...florida is a mess...crist is doing nothing...he isn’t raising taxes but has raised our fees...(thats a laugher)...drivers license from 20.00 to 48.00 car registrations...double...what will they do when the wells dry up...??..
If it comes down to it, he will still vote “yes” on Obamacare. Vote him out!
Indeed! The far left feels entitled to huge power after 2006 and 2008 and are furious that Obama didn’t deliver squat.
The far left knows they’ll never have another opportunity like after 2008 for the next generation — and by then, the 60’s hippies will have been long died off.
The Bolshevicks took control of the Dems at the ‘72 convention...The Country has never really been the same since

It was so brilliant I had to say it twice
www.faxzero.com and you and others can send 2 free faxes a day. Good their names and contacts. Fax Crist and others plus call.
I will probably leave FL and know other employers who will go. Businesses cannot survive when the unemlployment tax goes from $8 a month per employee to over $100.
The state is destroying the middle class thanks to illegal immigration. JUST like California. Meanwhile even people here are whining to take the poor Haitians in.
Yeah but Obama overwhelmingly got the young college and recent grad votes —they better see the light
Far Left = Communist
Isn’t Mike Pence going after this seat? He would be a worthy challenger.
