Reply #132: Now...Has The Mass. Democratic Party Realized This???

[KharmaTrain]

The saving grace about Brown's election is that he's on a short leash...he has to go back to those same voters in 2 years. Will the Massetchussets Democratic party and the DNC be ready? Will the people of the Bay State be ready? This dude should have a big target on his head and every vote he takes splashed around...either force him to "moderate" (which I suspect he'll try to do...opportunists always are the sleeziest politicians).

Yes, populism was a driving force in that election as it will be in the primaries ahead and most likely into November. Ignore the anger and frustration at your own peril. We've already seen the GOOP playbook for the year ahead...pick up trucks, rich people pretending to be "one of the little guys" and blaming government rather than the corporates as being the problem. If Democrats ignore these tactics, they stand to lose even more this year.

Hopefully we saw a change in this administration yesterday...giving up on trying to work with rushpublicans whose only agenda is "no" and put them on the defensive to defend supporting the big corporates.
