Scott Brown was a gift to the wayward Obama administration. Or at least that's the way Rahm Emanuel should look at Tuesday’s results. Watching Democrats lose the so-called 60th vote, itself a manifestation of the collective failure of purpose and nerve among modern Democrats, to a former male model who attracted disillusioned Obama voters who still want change, gives the White House and congressional leadership a chance to reboot the agenda and use 2010 as a sprint towards November.
...
The only way Obama is going to make lemonade out of lemons is to sack up, make some personnel changes, and remember there's something out there called "the base". That would be us. "Independent" and "Centrist" votes won't mean a damn thing if the people who worked to get him elected give up on him. He hasn't given us much to cheer about over the past year.
