The real implication of Brown’s victory isn’t that the Republicans can now stop the Democrats. It’s the informational signal it sends to current Senators that they have over-reached. A lot. When a Republican wins an election to replace Ted Kennedy whose signature issue was health care in perhaps the most liberal state in the country, and he wins running against ObamaCare and as a real Republican not some Republican Lite for Massachusetts, it’s a wake-up call of enormous proportions.
It seems fairly obvious to me at this point that Obama and Co. have vastly overplayed their hand. US Senators, Representatives and even the White House are going to react to this in a way that is going to make true-blue liberals furious. But whether good or bad, right or wrong, it seems thats what the doctor has ordered.
The State of the Union is going to be fascinating.
