is that PM presents it as vintage Obama, when in fact it was playing against the type he's been presenting for the past year.

 Coakley was left in the VERY uncomfortable position of either supporting a piece o' crap health care bill or running against her own party. (Looking back, probably the way to have gone.) She could then have pointed out with no hypocracy that Brown had already voted for the same legislation for Mass. that Romney shoved down their throats, and that nobody in Mass. likes anyway. Had she done this she might well have won (instead of lost) that election in her sleep.

Too many are over-interpreting the Massachusetts election. Coakley was a weak candidate who ran a weak campaign. Even this Democrat, active on her local ward committee, doesn't think it's bad for the incumbent party sometimes to take a hit. How else to wake people up? In retrospect I don't think Coakley would have been a good senator. How can you "represent" the residents of your state if you think going out and shaking hands is a waste of time? You don't have to care what people think?

I'm aware that Scott Brown benefitted by funding from outside Massachusetts. But he won the election because many Democrats didn't bother to vote (weak candidate!) and because many independents, who are more than 50% of registered voters in MA, were frustrated, angry even, at the endless dickering in the Senate. If the Republicans could get legislation passed without a 60 vote majority, why can't the Democrats do the same? There's something wrong with the picture.

In any case, post-election polling reveals that many Brown voters want  better - ie more progressive and fairer - health care reform. Brown's election does NOT suggest a surge of conservative, right-wing, Republican just say 'no' public opinion in Massachusetts.

Carp, you have indeed put your finger on the pulse of today's GOP. It's why i have had a knot in the pit of my stomach about the future of this country for several years now.

Obviously, the GOP has embraced and internalized a key tenet of Straussian Neocon philosophy--creating one's own reality--i.e. one that can and will be embraced by a large swath of the populace.

Why would they do this? Only they can say, but it's obvious to me that they no longer have the courage of their ideas or their ability to sell them to an increasingly minority-laden democraphic.

So the Big Lie is the only way out for them politically (or so they see it).

The 1st and main key to success was to use their immense communication infrastructure to de-legitimize all other sources of information for their consumers. Once you've done that, everything else is a piece of cake. People will voluntarily shut out anything other than the desired neocon message. It works--perhaps even better than Orwell envisioned, and the dems have yet to understand the true depth of the problem or how to combat it.

To me, what the GOP is doing is flat out evil (and I do hate using that word). It's why I really see no future for this country unless something in this dynamic changes. You can't have 2 parties who can't agree on the color of the sky and effectively solve problems.

This is why I say the difference between Democrats and Republicans is simple: Democrats are lawyers/systems managers, Republicans are used car salesmen.

In other words Republican pol...iticians know their audience is already in the market for a load of crap and fashion the sales pitch accordingly. Bumper sticker slogans trump policy in Republican hands, having perfected the used car salesman's techniques of b^tt kissing and lying to make the sale into high art.

Last night I finally watched your Q&A event with congressional Republicans, and I was very impressed.   It is no easy feat to so thoroughly throw back so successfully each question and criticism from a room full of professional haters.   Of course, it is much easier when you place your own platform within touching distance of that of your opponents, so that gradually they discover that all they really object to is yourself, by virtue of their own prejudices.  

So; it was a politically brilliant showcase for your remarkable intellect and debating skills, not to mention your steady and solid resolve in the face of angry opposition.   You successfully triangulated the field so that they found themselves boxed in, and their fundamental shallowness exposed.    It may even open the door for you to actually begin working with them (apparently your primary goal as president, so congradulations!) but if so you must be honest with yourself:   by this point you'll be working on THEIR house!  

By your grand and impressive gesture you have ceded even more ideological ground to the corporatist wrecking crew - or at the very least you have firmly reinforced their perceived possession of that ground.  I guess we'll see where this gets you.

I'd like to see you do something similar with your own party.   You have put a great deal more distance between yourself and Progressives in your party than that which constitutes the intimate proximity you have assumed with many of the angry hypocrites you faced in that room yesterday.   I, for one, would feel a lot better if I was given any indication that you even speak at all with Progressives like Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, Russ Feingold, let alone in a televised showcase event.   All you've done in their regards for the past year is to ignore them, and even openly ridicule their positions.

Please show some shred of respect to your own base, and propose a similar event with those in your own party who have been pointedly barred from the table.
