Scott Brown’s Massachusetts

Scott Brown’s Massachusetts
Pundits on both sides of the political spectrum weighed in on Scott Brown's stunning win in Massachusetts on Tuesday night.

Brown wins in traditionally Democratic New England state is one of the many calls after leaving the right-wing party, has been obtained. With health care reform, in the midterm elections, and any number of issues on the horizon, can the Democratic leadership can not reach the snooze button this time.

The Washington Post Allen Abel Brown calls for elections' a blow to the liberal, and a sign of weakness Obama:

Republican victory on Tuesday came after two months of Democratic candidates other than the president himself had embraced the beat sound of the rulers of New Jersey and Virginia, who seemed to lose consecutive unimaginable manufacturing ecstasy in the midst of the opening day.

National Review editorial board calls for the victory, and the dismantling of political clichés:

Scott Brown was not just a defeat Martha Coakley in Massachusetts in the Senate. He also defeated the hardy band of political cliches. Republicans in the Senate can not win races in the deep blue Massachusetts. That the State is dedicated to "the Kennedy legacy," The Republican Party has become hostage to the extremists who would rather lose the support of a pro-choice candidate. That the Republican Party has become a party in southern Sudan. Democrats what I call "health care reform" has become a fait accompli. President Obama's magical powers of persuasion.

And a review of Victor Davis Hampson trying to figure out why Obama seems to face a growing backlash.

Reform of the health care system is not the only thing affected by Brown's victory, says Weekly Standard. Win the political momentum which tends to back the Republican Party argued in favor of the magazine.

Political pack has a huge victory in the elections, which includes an article on the spirit of democracy, no doubt that the research is happening in the next few weeks.

Of this story:

Kennedy, the son of Rep. Patrick Kennedy (DR.I.) that the Democrats have to understand that they have entered a different era - and they can not assume that voters will be with them.

"It's like in Roman times, to have a jog to the runway and black will not go," Kennedy said Tuesday night. "I mean, they want blood and they do not get it until they want to protest. As you know, you can not blame them. But frankly, the fact is, we inherited this mess, and that it is us."

Political and Scott Brown also points out that Democrats still do not quite get to the parts of their agenda passed if they can get some moderate Republicans to play a role in determining the causes. While David Catanese consideration to the other winners and losers from last night's vote.

Atlantic Marc Ambinder paints a very bleak picture of the disaster Massachusetts:

Some Democrats, the election was a sign of the end of the world's political, just as opponents of the reform of the health care system, and the agenda was made by Obama to be - at the end of the world does not only mean that Democrats should reconsider its commitment to reform the health care system, which they had poured in over the entire political efforts and identities in the past seven months, but alluded to the bad, and bad things to come in the midterm elections, the party in 2010 if trends are not changed, and radically, and right now.

Washington Post Chris Cillizza tries to save some finger pointing democracy is now under way with fellow WaPo contributor Ezra Klein says that Ted Kennedy said Democrats will have to stay the course despite the electoral setback.

New York Times indicates that the Senator-elect Brown, in fact, supports the Massachusetts health care bill when he was a member of the Senate, and may give Democrats a glimmer of hope that he might play the ball on health care.

Mr. Brown, in the campaign against the practice of health care legislation emerging in Washington, and sought to portray it as fundamentally different from the plan of Massachusetts. But Massachusetts was actually an important model for what and put the Congress, we can say that the form to imagine why Congress.

Federal law, such as the one in Massachusetts, based on a system backed by the government and private sector insurance coverage with subsidies and sliding scale based on income. Federal law, however, also includes a number of steps national efforts to control health care costs, and taxes and new fees intended to push for the legislation. Massachusetts continued to struggle with the costs.

Wall Street Journal tries to explain the dynamics of the complex in the case of Brown v. Coakley race but he also looked forward to the midterm elections, arguing that Obama and the Democrats will gain new skills and message to attract swing voters in the crucial mid-term elections next.

In the meantime, Huffington Post offers one possible way for the Democrats to attract some of those independents angry: take aim at Wall Street.
