The burning question after the Massachusetts Senate election is whether the administration responds by making a course correction to survive politically by jettisoning its policy core and cleaning up its methods, or 'doubles down,' as President Obama has implied, and escalates the ideological and guerrilla war for direction of public policy. This was a referendum on the Obama administration, including health care, not just on health care.

FTA: “No one is audibly lamenting the retirement of George W...”
Wrong. I have a frame around my license plate that says I MISS DUBYA...NO GOV”T HC.
What happens to this idiot when Emanuel and Axelrod jump ship?
“Neither one would be eligible because Biden was chosen by Obama and elected as part of a team,”
Have you read the Constitution lately? If BO were to resign then Biden would become President. Pelosi would then become Vice President until Biden had appointed someone.
“Say what you will about Biden, but hes not a Marxist or a Muslim “
True, he’s an idiot but not a traitor. Although he did sell his soul to BO to become the VP. Oh and I’ve read reports that Biden knew what BOs policies would be before accepting.
At least Black knows that Obama has had only 42 predecessors in office, not 43, but he doesn't know how to spell "kow-tow."
Who was Mo Dowd's uncle in the FDR administration?
I’ll wait for the analysis to tell me what he said. I’m tired of vomiting when I watch his speeches.
Pelosi would not become VP unless Biden nominated her and both houses of Congress voted to confirm the nomination. In the meantime the office of vice president would be vacant (as it was many times in our history before the 25th amendment was adopted—three times it was vacant for a space of 3 years and 11 months).
LOL....You have made my day.
There has been a back and forth discussion regarding the matter which still hasn’t been resolved as Biden, himself, wasn’t elected on his own but as part of the Obama/Biden ticket and if Obama was not eligible then Biden wasn’t either since Obama chose Biden to be his running mate.
The harder he digs, the more republicans increase in strengh..
Thats a Constitutional crisis we certainly don’t need, but we have none the less.
Everyone should prove their eligibility before the election.
“...as Peggy Noonan, Ronald Reagan’s leading speech-writer”
Not leading speech writer..a speech writer.
Back then, NR slammed her for her self promoting conceit.
Noonan joins Frum in the dustbin of people who used conservatism to get ahead and stab it in the back at the worse time.
President for Life.. Barry Half-White.. “Papa Doc” Duvalier De Chicago... Mack the Knife of Detroit..
People tried but were told they had “no standing”. After the election and before the meeting in January people tried but again they were told they had “no standing” Doesn’t the Declaration of Independence begin with the words, “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union....” If the people don’t have standing then who the hell does????????????????
“If the people dont have standing then who the hell does????????????????”
Which is why there should be a bounty on lawyers.
A year ago, Peggy was leg-quivering along with Matthews, but now, in her oh-so-thoughtful way, she's discovered she was bamboozled by a con artist.
“A year ago, Peggy was leg-quivering along with Matthews, but now, in her oh-so-thoughtful way, she’s discovered she was bamboozled by a con artist.”
And a year ago she was saying some pretty nasty things about Sarah Palin and conservatives. Noonan is an self promoting opportunist just as she was in the 80s.
As far as I’m concerned, there’s no forgiveness for her. She’s dead to me.
The death of the fascist card. Yeah, all those mouth breathing knuckle draggers in fly-over country like... Massachusetts...
The death of the MSM. Never again will the American people allow such an egregious dereliction of duty on the part of the people who are supposed to vet candidates and ask them the tough questions before they get elected.
I wish you weren't dreaming but JJ and Sharpton have a warehouse full of pallets of brand new race cards. Ditto fo the other two issues too.
She is kind of a batty old aunt that people visit out of hopes she'll leave them something in her will, and reading one of her columns is like enduring one of those visits where she waxes poetically over politics while telling you the foibles of each of her fifteen cats.
