Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - 41st Republican: What does it mean to Healthcare and Obama?

Yesterday, Massachusetts senate set was won by a Republican. It was held for 40+ years by Ted Kennedy a democrat.

I've been reading today all about the loss of the seat, that the Dems are finger pointing, that it's a mark against Obama just one day before his 1 year anniversary of taking office.

Personally, I don't like what is being presented in the house or the senate bills. I don't think they should pass in the state that they are in. I don't believe that one should accept shoddy just to get it int he door and fix it later.

I'm not sure what it means to Obama, it seems that people want it to be meaningful against him, losing VA, NJ and now the Mass. senate seat. Personally I don't see it that way. I see it as people just tired of the politics as usual in their own controllable worlds.

I think that the real decisions are still to come as voting is a continual process and we'll see what happens this coming November.
