Coakley did a terrible job of running for senator. You can't go on vacation while the other person is running a race against you, and that's what she did.

Now granted something like 18% of democrats voted for Brown to send a message, but like you I don't think the message was that they wanted "republicans" to run things, it was that they wanted the WH to do more, not less with health care, and they voted for change, and they want to see more change and see the president take on the issues he ran on. They want the president to get tougher, not take a break, or slack off his agenda.

I am behind president Obama, but I too want to see more action so we don't lose in November. Getting tougher with Wall street, bankers, and republicans and getting things done will go a long way to bring back those who are upset right now. I really don't think any democrat wants to see the republicans take charge again. They are unhappy now, but the president can bring them back. He will need to kick some but with the democrats in congress, but that's what needs to be done!
