Life is easy when all you have to do is say "Hey, as I'm a Dem you don't have to worry your knuckledragging head about what I really think; just buy the Party Line, brother"

Hmm, let's try to be fair here. Trent Lott really went out and publicly suggested we'd be better off if we still had segregation.

Reid said that for a schwartze, Obama don't talk too funny. Of course Obama talks differently according to the venue, but evidently Reid had never been to the steps of Trinity after their `services'.

I think this is another level, and I even think that Lott should have gotten away with saying what he did.

Reid will be voted out soon and this will help that along. Stephanopoulos backpedalling is all for the good. The more that the MSM is seen defending the indefensible (not Reid's words, I mean Reid himself) the better.

Let Stephanopoulos go out and say that gassing warming denialists is a great idea! Keep diggin, as you say.

This is what Reid said of Lott at the time: "He had no alternative. Senator Lott dug himself a hole and he didn't dig it all in one setting. He dug it over the years. And he couldn't figure out a way to get out of it."

But of course, in this Animal Farm, some pigs are more equal than others. It's one of the big perks of being a pinko honcho. Think Mary Jo.

I didn't know Daschle had a sense of humor. He always looks like he's in need of Preparation H.

Amazing Massachusetts machine politics.

Goddamn, Tecs! You live in Mississip!

To be fair, there is an absolute double standard between what is okey-doke for a Dem to be about, whether shouting it to the skies [Jackson, Teddy, Pelosi, Byrd the Kleeger, Obama the Papa Dreamer, Soto-Mayor etc....] or shouting it out "only" in Party headquarters [Reid, Clintons, Ginzburg, Nelson, etc...]; and what is okey-doke for a Rep to be about, whether shouting it to the skies [Buchanan, Lott, Palin, Reagan, Cheney..] or shouting it out "only" in Party headquarters [Nixon, Norquist, Kissinger, etc...].
This be whether about clarity of political aims, at one end, to clarity as to ugliness of spirit, at another end.
The Party Line protects the Dems, in the MSM, and hunts down the Reps.
That's the fairness of it.

Rott, you didn't think that Massachusetts stays a One Party State for the better part of a century by letting the little people be the ones who decide this stuff, did you?
Brown won't win unless his actual vote total is at least 55%. Very unlikely to happen. But, should it, the legislature will just once again reset the law controlling the timing of Teddy's seat to give unto Obama what is Obama's
[Remember, at Teddy's death the law here stated the seat was to be empty until a special election was held. But Obama said the word, and Deval and the Legislature here set to changing the law to allow Patrick to appoint an interim Senator. The irony of course was that the law they changed had been one passed by that Legislature a few years ago, when Romney was Governor, to prevent him to appoint an interim successor should Teddy have croaked then. Chicago may be the Gold Standard, but Boston is right up there contending for the Silver].

OK, AA. You're right. I am not a complete babe in the woods and I know that one-party politics has particular institutions.

I do not believe that Massachusetts needs international observers sent in from Texas to ensure that ballots not be dumped or forged. You're likely going too far there.

Of course the special elections rules can be reversed and shaved and trimmed. No doubt.

BUT, the reason that Massachusetts is a one-party place is because the voters are that way and most of them go along.

Driving across the state, you'd be hard pressed to find a Repub lawn sign anywhere. The reason is that the state is unionized among the blue-collars and liberal as hell among the super educated and affluent.

Those groups are heavily Dem all over the country, but in Massachusetts, they make up more of the electorate.

That Brown be pulling some good numbers on a couple polls is the New Jersey-Virginia phenomenon in which every last independent is going against the Dems instead of keeping between 1/3 and 2/3.

You can't attribute all of this to malfeasance. Some of it is mass stupidity.

Sure, the state the Dems build hooks in people into the "grid", makes them buy into the notion that their livelihood is dependent on the state/unions/political party. But, even so, people get ornery when things go pisswasser for too long, or resent that the goods are being kept mostly for a nomenklatura, and they do uppity things like vote important party members out of office. This is an irritation that no longer needs to be tolerated. And this is where machine politics comes in.
As for your faith in the integrity of the ballot box, here in Mass., if you have in mind Lexington or Chatham, sure. But if you have in mind Lowell, Springfield, New Bedford, and The Hub, you are dreamin' pretty little dreams. These have been "players" at least since the days of Curley.

Curley is dead. C'mon, man. Massachusetts ain't Colombia.
