Jon’s right. Why would House Democrats be concerned about seeing their party lose obscure little elections like statewide races in Jersey and Virginia, when what Tuesday really demonstrated is that Democrats can win a whopping plurality in upstate New York, and even manage a solid victory in that heart of Republican territory, Sacramento. Also, Tucson!

It’s not surprising. Democrats came in riding a wave they thought would let them do anything. Now they feel the moment slipping away and they’re trying for a Hail Mary, get it done while you can.

Not unlike a football team on the wrong 30 yard lone down by 5 with 20 seconds left. They don’t have much, but for the next 20 seconds, they still have the ball.

The problem with this analogy, of course, is that the fans don’t feel so hot about the other team, so if they just slowed down and played solid ball, the fans would probably give them an extra quarter to get the job done. ... See all content Hide content

Obama was thanking Corzine for helping him get where he is, as any translator of empty political rhetoric could tell you. Everyone is the Most Important Partner Ever, the Key Legislator, the Tireless Advocate/Trusted Advisor/Man or Woman of the People/Family Guy dude (not the grandpa who wants to molest the fat kid, hopefully,) or whatever the hell the event calls for. The loss of the governorship of New Jersey means that it will be back in the hands of Republicans since… about the last time that thing flipped, which was not that long ago. Yeah, it’s a loss, but what it has to do with the national agenda hasn’t been fully explained.

In an election where two people were elected who can actually vote for the thing were both Democrats while two people who were elected who can’t vote for it were Republicans, the message from the voters that healthcare must be stopped is a curious thing to get from the Great Oracles of Blog. ...

So Jon Corzine won’t be there for Saturday’s vote in the House? What chance will a hotly-contested vote on healthcare reform have now? The Governor of Virginia’s vote was also of vital necessity, much more than two Congressmen from California and New York. Has anyone analyzed the various trigger mechanisms that Deeds found acceptable and made such a major part of his campaign website and how his defeat will affect the chances of a robust vs. a strong public option? Isn’t that the entire reason the Washington Times exists?

And since Tucson might have one member of the city council who is a Republican (actually two, since the Mayor is little more than the head of that austere body,) what will this do for our nation’s relations with Iran? “Stinging rebuke” might be putting it too lightly.

It also means that the Obamas better start putting pesticides on the White House garden next year, people really do hate the Olympics (especially NBC’s coverage,) those dudes in Oslo needed a lesson, and something about Levi Johnston. Also, ACORN! ... See all content Hide content
