Schooled
Being partisan and celebrating Scott Brown's victory yesterday in Massachusetts is fun.
However, the Republican party should not learn the wrong lessons from this win or from the celebratory punditry.
The electorate in Massachusetts is still 3-1 in favor of the Democratic party. There were enough Independents and disaffected Democrats who chose to vote for Brown this time around because they are dissatisfied with the current direction of the Obama regime. (I can say regime, can't I?)
The Republican party did not suddenly benefit from a massive influx of newly registered Republicans. A lot of the narratives behind the discussions on the internet are also of no benefit to understand what really happened.
The focus group run by Frank Luntz strips away the ideology of both left and right and expresses the concerns of the center. Watch and learn.
