2. What? The base decides to go vote for Brown? Not very much a base then. |

This is what happens when you run a less than perfect campaign, and have the media beating the heck out of you everyday.

5. This is what happens when we're trying to pass a major HCR plan and your candidate says "raise taxes |
|
Seriously, tax talk is a major no-no during a major recession and high unemployment.

6. I wonder about the 22% Democrats who voted for him |
|
The progressives seem wronger than ever. This party has some real conservatives in it.

12. If you mean Brown v Coakley, I have to disagree. |
|
First, Massachusetts is what it is, Coakley didn't lose because of unhappy progressives there.
She didn't lose because of National politics.
She was less appealing overall and to independents in particular.
She had a very hard act to follow, and only if the Dem candidate had been at least as appealing as the Republican could they have won.
The economy is dismal, this was a factor.
But that Obama hasn't pressed progressive issues in the first year did not result in the turnout, I just don't think it had a very large effect.
