In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude-model, tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees.
At least he doesn't call for his assassination.

Unbridled hatemongering
When extremists go too far on one side or the other, they tend to be ignored after a while. Hence most conservatives don't acknowledge Michael Savage anymore, even though he still has a fervent radio following. On the left, there are plenty of attack dogs, but the liberal with the highest cable ratings remains Keith Olbermann (around 1 million viewers). About once a week, he has his Special Comments, where he rages and rails and spews hate against one person or another. His monologue against Scott Brown just spiralled into delirium, concluding thusly:
At least he doesn't call for his assassination.

2008 was about change; so is 2010
Obama won in 2008 due to his message of "Change." But 2009 didn't see much change that was for the better, especially when it came to the shenanigans of Congress. Now a Republican might actually win the Senate seat once held by liberal lion Ted Kennedy.
"Change" means that Democrats in blue states and Republicans in red states and incumbents in all states should be worried this year.

Crocodile tears over Harry Reid
I don't think what Harry Reid said was racist, necessarily. But what kind of white man uses the word "Negro" and isn't talking about a college fund or quoting Quentin Tarantino dialogue? It's just weird.
But we live in a world of 24-hour news, where it's the same two or three stories punditized to death, with the professionally offended out to talk as a head.
Hey, crocodile tears brought down George Allen over the word "macaca" so maybe it'll work against Reid.

Palin & Huckabee on Fox News now
Mike Huckabee shielded himself from beltway conservative criticism by joining the Fox News Channel family. Now Sarah Palin has done the same.
Now those two have a cake-walk to the Iowa primary from FNC.
Chilling.

National Political Predictions for 2010
1. The Democrats keep their majority in the Senate by 3, and the GOP wins the House by 3.
2. Unemployment gets back to the 9% range.
3. There will be another failed terrorist attack that politicians will nevertheless freak out about, make political hay, demand increased security-this and guidelines-that, only serving to increase government power and punish all people who fly.
4. Keith Olbermann will allow Pat Buchanan on his show for one segment, then end it early so a dissenting viewpoint isn't allowed to fully form.
5. Chris Dodd does not return to the Senate.
