Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts last night was one for the People, with ripples that flow out across the entire political pool, like from crates of Tea hitting the water. For democrat Martha Coakley, check and mate, but really not aimed at her. It was that bigger, badder target standing behind her.
The message was very, very clear to politicians of any persuasion: if you ignore the voices of the People, and continue to push an agenda that a clear majority reject, the price will be high. That is America's nearly perfect democracy in action. God Bless it!
Already today, the effects are being felt. Most politicians are way too fond of their situations to continue to support Obama's radical ideas that have clearly fallen out of favor. If you were a dem facing an election next week, would you make the same mistake Coakley did and call him in to campaign for you? You'd be crazy.
It was a nice "correction" yesterday. Later this year, will see how many took a lesson from it. Can we say "Mandate"?
