Republican win in Mass a big defeat for Obama...

Momentum is going against the President. I would highly recommend they do not try to rush this Health Care Bill through congress before the new Senator is sworn in. It looks like a November rout is building nationwide.

But whoa, wait a minute! I'm not exactly sure the Republicans will retake Congress, but at this point the wild legislative agenda comes to a halt. Let us assume that it becomes larger than expected and both the House and Senate are retaken by Republicans. Will they cease to work on Health Care? There are certain to be enough Democrats left to block any bills supported by Repubs. So where does this leave John Q. Public? Stuff needs to get done. Immigration, Health Care and several other things need fixing. If they were not so broken, I would not be saying this. But I'm afraid they all will never be able to get along. Vote them ALL out of office next election and vote in a few more Independent candidates.

Bill Clinton had a stunning defeat in 1994. Yet he was able to sign a couple of bills favored by Republicans, remain relevant and popular and get re-elected in 2006. Well, o.k. Bob Dole was not the best candidate to run against him. Ah, I kind of liked old Bob.
