The Politico also points to four upcoming races:
•Obamacare: some still want to do a kamikaze run
•Mass. focus group says it was all about healthcare
•Massachusetts Senate race results live blog
•Where has the laughter gone?
Scott Brown has turned this town upside down. ....For otherwise skilled and power-hungry politicians, why did it take them this long to figure out that the Obama agenda was a loser? Even Obama, when he was campaigning last Fall, was smart enough not to run on this agenda.
Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) told a local reporter, “It’s probably back to the drawing board on health care, which is unfortunate.” Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Mass.) told MSNBC this morning he will advise Democratic leaders to scrap the big bill and move small, more popular pieces that can attract Republicans. And Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) said his leadership is “whistling past the graveyard” if they think Brown’s win won’t force a rethinking of the health care plan.
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), who now might draw a challenge from Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), said the party needs to rethink its entire approach to governing.
They are in denial no more: If Democrats can lose in Massachusetts, they can lose anywhere.
The Politico also points to four upcoming races:
Democratic insiders [are] concerned about other signs of trouble that got insufficient notice: Polls show Democrats could lose the New York Senate seat, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson’s favorable ratings plummeted in Nebraska, new polls showed Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio) trailing badly in his swing district, and Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) is in a statistical tie and in more trouble than previously expected.PREVIOUSLY on the Massachusetts Senate race:
•Obamacare: some still want to do a kamikaze run
•Mass. focus group says it was all about healthcare
