After yesterday’s upset in the Massachusetts senate race, the pundits are all saying that this foretells a major loss for the Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. Maybe just because of this event it will not happen. The expected disaster to the Democrats has just occurred, a good ten months prematurely, and therein lies the rub. If our elected officials take heed (and they probably will) and reform their ways to align more closely with the will of their constituents there may not be a rout in November. There are a whole host of issues on which they can refuse to be a rubber stamp for the Obama – Reid – Pelosi steamroller.
Of course there may be voters in November who will want revenge for the betrayal of their trust, for turning their opportunity at responsible leadership into a dictatorial frenzy.

Have you read what David Axelrod was saying today?
I am not sure that the Obama administration is willing to listen to what the people are trying to say. But it does seem that some of our people(democrats in particular) in Congress are getting the message.
I agree that this could end up effecting the repbulicans chances in the midterm elections.
The arrogance is what really bothers me.
Can you believe that the NY Times wrote this: "In Washington, Senate Democrats had to engage in tawdry horse-trading to pass a staggeringly complex health care bill in the face of a Republican filibuster, displaying Congress at its partisan and dysfunctional worst."
Where were they the last month!?
