Quote of the day
I’ve been trying to decide what to say about the Scott Brown/Martha Coakley affair. I’ve decided to steal a quote from Marko.
I think that the Democrats’ loss of “Kennedy’s seat” to the Republicans has done is to chip away at the sense of inevitability that comes with elections in areas heavily dominated by one party. If Massachusetts can vote a Republican into Teddy’s well-worn Senate chair, then nothing’s a sure thing anymore.
As my mom, who is still trapped behind the lines in New York, said: “If they can get rid of the Kennedy seat, that means we can get rid of Schumer!”
Or as Dod said:
What the American people really said: “Mr. President, welcome to the first day of the rest of your presidency. We look forward to its conclusion.”
