(4,507 posts)I believe the two equations are very different.
Now, we will see if we are serious, as a party, about gearing up for 2014, and if Obama can uplift us with strong leadership rather than demoralize us with excessive compromise over these next two years.
It's on us, but it's also on him.
As a party if we can't figure out how to gear up and properly maintain our momentum into the midterms, we are in a lot of trouble, period. And so I'd rather roll the Scott Brown question into that instead of the crapshoot of a special election.
Special elections seem especially susceptible to Citizens United dollars. And no one takes more Wall Street cash than Scott Brown.
Believe me, Wall Street titans are just itching for the chance to get their boy back in the game.
